I understand the impulse in this direction, but I’m not sure it would serve as much of a disincentive, as there would likely just be a highly-paid scapegoat. Why not something more lasting and less difficult to ignore, like compulsory disclosure of the model’s source code (in addition to compensation for the victim(s)). Compulsory disclosure of the source would be a massive disadvantage.
The C-suite is only responsible when the company does good or stonks go up. When they do something bad, it's either: external market forces, the laws of physics, an uncertain macroeconomic environment, unfair competition, or lone wolf individual employees way down the totem pole.
