I personally think an algorithm would be easier to show intent, or a least willful negligence, it would also magnify the harm. A employee might only make mistakes on occasion, but an algorithm will make it every single time. The benefit of an algorithm is it does not need to be reminded do or not to do something, and it's actions are easier to interrogate than a humans.
