Sumario:This article aims to understand the relationships between artificial intelligence, robots and moral agency philosophically. The advance of artificial intelligence has changed the forms of thought and behavior of human beings in society. For our work, we will start from the following problem: if we attribute to artificial intelligence a moral agency, then artificial intelligence can be morally responsible? Our hypothesis to verify is that if artificial intelligence simulates moral actions in decision making, then a moral agency only simulates forms of moral responsibility. This proposal is justified due to the contemporary importance of philosophy for the understanding and debate of theoretical concepts involving artificial intelligence. These theoretical concepts are intelligent agents, algorithms, machine learning (machine learning), big data (large amount of computable data), cognition, information, logic, neural networks, among others.
