My only problem with your comment is that human forecasters and decision makers are also often not held accountable for their work.

They are either tarnishing their reputation or gaining reputation points.

Under that interpretation of accountability, you could easily hold a machine accountable for decisions; if it loses enough "reputation points" such that people no longer trust it to make the right decision, the machine could be replaced.
