Abstract. The article poses the task to consider the issue of the essence, typology and distribution of responsibility for the result of cognitive activity in socio-technical epistemic systems. As a result of analysing conceptual foundations (J. Simon) and comparing them with the existing examples, a number of models are formed that describe the interaction of people and technical objects in the process of knowledge production, namely, their direct role in the result of this process: individual, shared and joint ones. It is shown that in each of the models responsibility can be focused on the subject or the technical object (the totality of such objects), or it can be distributed equally between them. As a result, possible roles of technical objects in the process of knowledge production and further directions of the conception of socio-technical epistemic systems are indicated.
Key words and phrases: социотехнические эпистемические системы, эпистемическая ответственность, модели распределения ответственности, познавательная деятельность, информационное общество, socio-technical epistemic systems, epistemic responsibility, responsibility distribution models, cognitive activity, information society
