Except a computer isn't making decisions here? An investigator is making decisions, the computer is sorting the investigatees. Even if that wasn't the case it wouldn't be ambiguous who to blame, it's clearly on who decided what goes into the algorithm and how it should work
Edit: even beyond who would be legally responsible, as evidenced by this article and others like it people are already holding policy makers and anti welfare instigators responsible. The fall guy being one step removed from the crime doesn't change who made it happen
Well, it didn't quite turn out that way, did it?
Sadly not :(
