"Why should you think you should be able to shuffle that off?"

Because no one can predict what the AI will become or do in the future. Particularly regarding decisions that no human can understand, as happened in the latest Go competitions.

Who is accountable when it decides do something that a human could equally well have decided was beneficial but turns out to have catastrophic consequences? Eg eradicate every mosquito and wasp species on the planet, due to the problems they cause for mankind, leading to ecological destruction and devastation of certain food chains.
