That's not Arendt's actual argument.
Eichmann knew what he was doing, and that it was bad. He just didn't care because he subordinated that to other goals.
An algorithm can't be evil. It can just be a bad algorithm. You might as well say that a sticking speedometer that causes you to speed is evil.
