So far the Trump administration and the Federal government under him don’t need AI to justify stupid, globe-wrecking policy.

AI told me to do [wrongful action] is no more a valid excuse than I was just following orders. At least not to an international tribunal or a (seriously peckish) public.

It might not be but it gets that kind of play in the press (and, therefore, public opinion/support) as discussed in this Citations Needed podcast episode A.I. Mysticism as Responsibility-Evasion PR Tactic

  I was gonna say, it certainly allows insurance companies to launder their original intentions as “oopsy, AI made us deny all those claims (we wanted to deny anyway), don’t be mad at us” and then people bitch about the bad AI causing all these issues instead of the insurance company who wanted the exact same outcome, regardless of AI.
  
  All that said, I’m giving another recommendation that people go subscribe to Citations Needed.
