Oh, like the financial crisis of 2008-9 - bail us out, we're too big to fail - it's not our fault that we rushed into the unregulated territory and ignored all the risk... The taxpayers are the ultimate insurance underwriters.
As such, regardless of technological involvement or not, you must be just about as sad as I am about the current trends regarding responsibility, accountability, enforcement of legal precedents, stability of our systems, etc. In that respect, I'll say the state of AI is more a symptom than a cause.
There was a scene in Star Wars (the original: A New Hope) where "the senate will no longer be a problem, the emperor has disbanded the body..." I'm waiting for them to start talking about doing that with the courts, they talk about every other outrageous thing imaginable.
