Would a "tax on bad decisions made by company & company's tools" be appropriate in the 21st century? I don't think you can sue an algorithm these days, but having the legal step to say that "whatever a company's tool decides, the company has also (legally) decided" would help solve many of these problems. You'd have to run these by legal before shipping.
