Abstract

The dialogue that follows was written to express some of our ideas and remaining questions about IT systems, moral agency, and responsibility. We seem to have made some progress on some these issues, but we haven't come to anything close to agreement on several important points. While the issues are becoming more clearly drawn, what we have discovered so far is closer to a web of connecting ideas, than to formal claims or final conclusions.
