Will AI developers be on the bench of future Nuremberg-like trials?

The Nazis basically said ‘i was just following orders’ - i.e. ‘chain of authority defense’. Will ai devs follow the same pattern of defense once/if an ai swarm does something serious that harms a lot of people beyond a reasonable degree? ‘I was just coding a reward function’, ‘i was just perfecting an algorithm’, ‘i was just trying to get the work done so i could get home’ - i’m curious if new laws will have to be enacted and retroactively applied to ai devs, similarly to what happened with the Nuremberg trials
