Along with the development of information technology, information is separated off from an artifact, which was originally embodied into its artifact. Such a separation can bring about various benefit for us, whereas it can have negative effects like security issues. We newly define it as “Artifact dilemma”. This phenomenon is a typical example of “modern evil”, which is mentioned in artifactual engineering, and must be solved in order for artifacts to nicely cope with humans and societies especially in current digitalization. In this article, we formally proposed the concept of artifact dilemma and discuss its theoretical framework.
