Abstract

With the advent of the information age, the rapid development of artificial intelligence has accelerated social development and improved people's lives, but it has also generated a series of ethical problems such as algorithmic black box, privacy leakage, alienation of human relations. These ethical dilemmas urgently require the construction of artificial intelligence’s moral responsibility. Establishing an ethic of responsibility for artificial intelligence and implementing moral responsibility is the key to addressing the issue of vulnerability in ethical dilemmas. From the three dimensions of personal responsibility, others' responsibility and social responsibility, the ethical issues of artificial intelligence are constrained and standardized, and the ethical concept of artificial intelligence moral responsibility covering the whole process from top to bottom is constructed. This overall moral responsibility view can not only alleviate the current concerns about the ethical issues of artificial intelligence, but also create a positive and healthy environment for the development of artificial intelligence, which is an important way to solve the problem of harmonious coexistence between human and artificial intelligence.
