Work Step by Step

The level of responsibility someone bears for the application of their accomplishments by others depends on various factors, including the clarity of their intentions, foreseeable consequences, and ethical considerations. Responsibility lies on a spectrum: - High responsibility: When intent, control, and awareness are present. - Lower responsibility: When outcomes are unforeseeable or beyond the creator’s influence. Ultimately, it’s a balance between personal ethics, social accountability, and the real-world consequences of one’s work.
