This also makes work more convoluted and abstract, making it harder for workers to understand the underlying morality of their duties. You can't be blamed for human suffering if you are simply maintaining a server rack.
Also helps shift blame off of executives. No longer can they be blamed for mismanagement, they can just blame the AI or at least the IT department.
Executives can also order AI to take unethical actions, such as deleting incriminating records, and then delete those orders, unlike IT, which would debate this during their unemployment hearings.
