perhaps apocryphal quote from IBM:

  "A COMPUTER CAN NEVER BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE

  THEREFORE A COMPUTER MUST NEVER MAKE A MANAGEMENT DECISION"

it's sort of irrelevant if some shitty computer system is killing people - the people who need to be arrested are the people who allowed the shitty computer system to do that. we obviously cannot allow "oh, not my fault I chose to allow a computer to kill people" to be an excuse or a defence for murder or manslaughter or ... anything.
