| Abstract | The designer's responsibility with regard to behaviour in complex socio-technical systems Abstract This essay deals with the question how a designer of a technical element of a complex socio-technical system should deal with moral responsibility. As it can be hard to determine a moral norm and to predict the effects of certain design decisions, the answer cannot be answered straightforwardly. Moreover, it is questionable whether technological developments can be guided in the first place, or whether they are deterministic on society. We identify the problems and chances around these issues, by using the expansion of the telecommunications infrastructure in South Africa as an example. It will be made clear that in this case, there are several unique opportunities for conscious thinking about the moral consequences, and adapting design decisions to influence them. |
