There is an article/interview by John Cohn in the November 2013 edition of the IBM Inspire Beyond Today’s Technology magazine. This is the closest "source" I could find:
"A computer can prepare everything or make suggestions, but not play an autonomous role. In other words, we want the computer as an advisor, not as a decision-maker.”
@realn2s
For the latter I would use sociological models as a plausible source.
The part of accountability can be explained with Max Weber’s ‘purposive rationality’ and Niklas Luhmann’s views on trust and power.
In short: as a computer has no intentions, therefore it cannot make decisions.

😀 I thought of that. Sadly I'm really bad at recognising font families 😜
Do you know of a resource for that?
What makes me suspicious (at least about the year) is the crispy clear font, especially on an overhead slide
(for younger people, this were sheets of transparent plastic with an additional thin sheet of paper attached so that you could read what was on the side without a projector)
The first commercially available laser printer was released by IBM in 1976 with a resolution on 240dpi. Followed in 1977 by a model from Xerox and 1979 by one by Canon https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laser_printing
Which makes me doubt that a laser printer was available for printing slides in 1979.
And even less that there were laser printer compatible overhead slides.
Even in the 1990 you got a nice crumpled piece of plastic using standard overhead slides in a laser printer
