The Cyborg’s Responsibility. Part 2. Mechanisms and Practices for Implementing Responsibility in the Cyber-Physical World

This article is the second part of a study that, building on a prior philosophical and legal analysis of how the notion of responsibility is changing in the age of cyborgization, offers concrete institutional, technical, and legal mechanisms for making the idea of distributed responsibility intelligible and actionable as cyborg-related technologies develop. The paper examines legal gaps and practical barriers that hinder a fair assessment of individual actors’ contributions within hybrid systems. To address these problems, the author proposes several regulatory models, including insurance-based, licensing, and corporate, that appear promising under the new conditions. The study concludes that the era of cyborgization calls for a systemic architecture in which technical transparency, institutional accountability, and expert support operate together to satisfy the unique demands created by hybridity.
