Traditionally philosophical discussions on moral responsibility have focused on the human components of moral action. Accounts of how to ascribe moral responsibility usually describe human agents performing actions that have well-defined, direct consequences. In today's increasingly technological society, however, human activity cannot be properly understood without making reference to technological artifacts, which complicates the ascription of moral responsibility (Jonas 1984; Doorn a van de Poel...

[Revised entry by Dorothea Frede and Mi-Kyoung Lee on February 1, 2023.
