The article analyzes the distribution of responsibility between humans and artificial intelligence as the autonomy of digital systems increases. The purpose of the study is to determine whether an algorithm can act as a carrier of moral responsibility and how human subjectivity changes when decision-making functions are delegated to artificial intelligence. The study uses an interdisciplinary approach based on the analysis of philosophical concepts of responsibility (deontology, utilitarianism, existentialism), as well as modern trends in the philosophy of technology and digital ethics. The authors show that, despite the functional autonomy and ability of algorithms to make decisions without human intervention, artificial intelligence lacks consciousness, intention, and the ability to realize the consequences of its actions, which means it cannot act as a moral agent. Responsibility inevitably remains with the human developer, user, or owner of the system. The study’s peculiarity is the development of a philosophical model of the distribution of responsibility among participants in interactions with artificial intelligence which demonstrates that the primary criterion is not the complexity of the algorithm, but the preservation of human control. The importance of the work is in substantiating the need for digital ethics and the preservation of human subjectivity in the context of the growing autonomy of artificial intelligence.
