Computers are more accountable. You just pull the plug, wipe the system.

Executives, in contrast, require option strike resets and golden parachutes, no accountability.

Neither will tell you they erred or experience contrition, so at a moral level there may well be some equivalency. :D

Let’s assume we live in a hypothetical sane society, and company owners and/or directors are responsible for their actions through this entity. When they decide to delegate management to an LLM, wouldn’t they be held accountable for whatever decisions it makes?

I wonder if that quote is still applicable to systems that are hardwired to learn from decision outcomes and new information.

While I have great respect for this piece of IBM literature, I will also mention that most humans are not held accountable for management decisions, so I suppose this idea was for a more just world that does not exist.

Management is already never held accountable, so replacing them is a net benefit.
