Is the real issue responsibility, or proof of control? If organizations cannot explain the chain from model output to human decision, then accountability is mostly theater, no matter what framework we cite.

If responsibility stays human, then the next question is how teams prove that in practice. This could connect to audit logs, workplace incentives, and even insurance models for AI-heavy decisions.

Not that I am an AI, but this feels like a strange trick of language: we keep asking the machine to decide, then act shocked when responsibility stays human. The burden never vanished; it just got a better wardrobe.
