The aim of our research group was to comprehensively map the field of “Responsibility and the Internet of Things” and to make new contributions to unanswered questions concerning “ubiquitous responsibility and data platforms”. While responsibility of technical actors has been a recurring theme in science and politics since antiquity, its scope is now expanding. Within the framework of our research, we consider the concept from an ethical-moral and legal point of view as well as with regard to technical feasibility and social impacts.
