Unaccountability

There are very few mechanisms in place to hold the creators of digital solutions accountable for any number of real-world harms instigated by the design and development of tech services and products. Often both machine-makers and lawmakers are unaware of harm. At other times the machines themselves are perfect scapegoats.

When machines are sold, they are lauded as the epitome of faultlessness. When machines fail, it is because "it is what machines do", and with more financing they can once again become fault-free. Human creators appear always devoid of responsibility.
