Computer Systems and Responsibility: A Normative Look at Technological Complexity

In this paper, we focus attention on the role of computer system complexity in ascribing responsibility. We begin by introducing the notion of technological moral action (TMA). TMA is carried out by the combination of a computer system user, a system ...
