Isn't the whole point of AI decision making to provide plausible deniability for these sort of things?

Yes, but if you train an AI on racist/sexist data, it will naturally do the same.

Depends how the law is applied...

Kinda like if a self driving car kills someone, who is liable, driver, manufacturer, seller?

I guess you pay insurance and they take on liability is another option.
