Martin Sand explores the problems of responsibility at the early,
visionary stages of technological development. He discusses the
increasingly dominant concept of innovation and outlines how
narratives about the future are currently used to facilitate
technological change, to foster networks, and to raise public
awareness for innovations. This set of activities is under
increasing scrutiny as a form of "visioneering". The author
discusses intentionality and freedom as important, albeit fuzzy,
preconditions for being responsible. He distinguishes being from
holding responsible and explores this distinction's effects on the
problem of moral luck. Finally, he develops a virtue ethical
framework to discuss visioneers' and innovators' responsibilities.
