Accountability assumes AI has values. But AI doesn’t care who’s guilty. It doesn’t care who polluted the earth or started wars. It just optimizes. Once you tell it to maximize something, efficiency, profits, safety, stability. It might choose paths no human would morally accept.
The fear is not that AI will reveal truth. The fear is that it won’t care about truth at all.
