The main purpose of this paper is to consider ethical effects of the production and use of Artificial Intelligence to human lives. To give any desirable foundation of moral Artificial Intelligence, this paper would like to point out the limit of artificial moral agent in contemporary tendency and to have certain perspective to the ethical nature of responsibility for the next generations. Therefore, this paper discusses the possibility and implication of artificial moral agent. Software introduces new kinds of agents: artificial software agents (ASA), including, for example, driverless trains and cars. To create these devices responsibility, engineers need an ethics of software agency. However, it is essential for artificial agent to have moral feelings to reach this goal. This moral emotion can lead to moral behavior. But even if to create a artificial moral agent succeeds, can it be possible to give him a moral and legal responsibility and rights? The moral behavior we are responsible for is to understand our actions through the harmony of emotion and reason, and finally to select our actions in a rational way. However, two preconditions must be met for this. Responsibility arises from social relationships, and it depends on the possibility of communication. The concept of responsibility is created by social recognition. Therefore, in order for a artificial moral agent to take responsibility for his actions, a struggle for recognition is needed. This is because ethics can be seen as a social product formed through such recognition struggles.
