AI (Artificial Intelligence) has become a popular topic in academic and public discussions about the future of technology, but at the same time, it has caused revolutionary changes in the world. Given that AI enables society to automate more tasks and automate to a larger extent than before, who or what is responsible for the benefts and harms of
using this technology? And, if this problem should be tackled pro-actively in the domains
of technology and policy, what does the development of “responsible AI” mean? This is not
only a philosophically interesting, but also a very practical, problem that urgently needs
more conceptual work. This study discusses the problem of responsibility attribution raised by the use of artificial intelligence technologies.
