Description
As the world moves ever forward into a digital future, the need for responsible digital innovation (RDI) becomes increasingly urgent. This paper presents the access-control-transparency (ACT) theory, a simple yet powerful framework for guiding designers and developers in creating digital artifacts that embody the principles of responsible design. With a focus on promoting access, control, and transparency, this theory aims to address the dark side of digital innovation and ensure that new technologies are developed in a way that considers their impact on individuals, communities, and society. The paper also explores avenues for future research, including the impact of ACT-driven design principles on organizational and societal outcomes, the role of individual and organizational values in the RDI process, and the incorporation of human-centric design and ongoing reflection into the ACT theory.
