Computer Science is a new field and individual developers can have reaching effects on society, direct or indirect, that extend further than any other engineering discipline. My belief is that it 100% is on the responsibility of researchers and developers to think of the ethical and social implications of their work. As an example, a podcast I listened to recently was interviewing CS researchers working on "deep fake" videos. When asked if they thought their work could have negative societal impact, their response was along the lines of "its just really cool to make this". CS as a whole has a lot of maturing to do and I hope we can get their sooner rather than later.
