Foresight and responsible innovation: Openness and closure in anticipatory heuristics

• Foresight can provide valuable anticipatory heuristics for responsible innovation. • Foresight heuristics can acquire different “openness/closure” gradients. • The degree of “openness/closure” is progressively settled by foresight dynamics. • In order to act as an “instrument for” responsibilisation, foresight must be a “subject of” responsibility. • Responsibilising foresight requires monitoring its constitutive dynamics. The heuristic...
