Giorgos Tsetis, a former supplement company executive, identifies a structural gap: AI companies operate with diffused responsibility that would be illegal for pharma, food, or consumer goods. In those sectors, a single executive answers for harms. In AI, no one does. If a hair growth supplement causes injury, executives face personal liability. AI systems cause documented harm—discriminatory hiring algorithms, medical misdiagnosis, financial fraud—yet no one faces meaningful consequences. Until AI companies establish clear chains of personal accountability beyond corporate policies or ethics boards, the incentive structure remains inverted: companies profit from deployment speed while dispersing blame for failures.
