Am I alone in thinking this is easy?

The human making the decision is always liable.

What if the human couldn't reasonably know better? Doesn't matter - If they made the same decision without AI or with old files it is still on them.

What if there's no single human decision? Someone is in charge and is responsible. The "I was ordered to" isn't a defense.

Does liability without power make sense? People executing have the power to execute. So liability. If they're executing without power that is a different liability, but a liability.

It may let the powerful off the hook - That is already a theme and AI doesn't change that, in fact, it will just be used as another scapegoat.

God told me to do it - Water tight! Right?

This doesn't seem to be a given.
