I'm having to take a few deep breaths before responding to some of these comments. The difference is Accountability. A computer can't be held accountable and a person can. Full stop. It makes all the difference.

The person operating the computer or building the AI could be held accountable though.
You could get a bystander effect kind of dilution of responsibility, even if unintentionally. Everyone points to someone else which is a system of incentives that enables bad things to happen. The buck always stops with the leadership, but you still want well-defined blame at the decision maker level that's transparent to everyone while decisions are being made.
Yes, and that's not happening right now, and it's a Big Fucking Problem. I am pretty sure this will someday be a prime case study in AI ethics courses. A Waco type of "how could this happen" moment.
