# Do artifacts have morality? Bruno Latour and ethics of technology
Rahman Sharifzadeh
In this paper, discussing Bruno Latour’s concept of technological mediation, we will claim that according to three kinds of technological mediations there would be three kinds of relations between morality and technology; Technology is part of our ethical actions, we delegate some of our ethical actions to technology, and technology can create, or change, our ethically important intentions. We will then discuss moral responsibility. Separating responsibility from accountability, we will show that networked actions neither nullify human’s moral responsibility nor grant moral responsibility to technology, yet meaningfully, we can talk about ‘technology punishment’.
