genuine question: hasn't that been done already with machine learning?

edit: your point is totally valid and I agree, but this type of cruelty is not new

There are regulations for example that say "the AI did it" is not a valid response to questions about why a decision was taken (e.g. the Equal Credit Opportunity Act in the US).

There are several best practices to comply with such regulations, and our platform makes it easy to apply them.

Yeah, obviously very little of what I'm reacting to is this tool specifically. My passion on the topic is because this is a trend we've been seeing for a long time, and most of us are already subject to many of these kinds of unaccountable systems.
