outcome responsibility

Read a random definition: entire-output contract

A quick definition of outcome responsibility:

Outcome responsibility means that if someone causes harm, they are responsible for it even if they didn't mean to do it. This doesn't always mean they have to pay for the harm, but it can be a reason for them to have to compensate the person who was harmed. It's like when you accidentally break your friend's toy, you are responsible for it and might need to say sorry or help fix it.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Outcome responsibility is the idea that those who cause harm are responsible for it, even if they didn't mean to do it. This is different from fault-based responsibility, where someone is only responsible if they did something wrong.

For example, if a company makes a product that ends up hurting people, they are responsible for the harm caused by their product, even if they didn't intend for it to happen. This is because they had the power to prevent the harm by making a safer product.

Outcome responsibility is important because it helps us hold people and companies accountable for the harm they cause. It also encourages them to take steps to prevent harm in the future.
