The Responsibility Gap

Captions available

The idea

When a learned, semi-autonomous system harms someone, responsibility travels through designers, trainers, deployers, and operators — and distributed responsibility can decay into blame owned by no one.

In practice

Each party truthfully says "not my act" — pile shaped, descent settled, reflex fired — and someone is still harmed.

Where people slip

The biting question: can people exercise rights of fair treatment, appeal, and transparency against such assemblies.
