Abstract: The responsibility gap, upon its introduction, has triggered an extensive and heated moral debate in the academia, which mainly includes three major positions: affirmation, denial and resolutionism. This debate is closely related to the duality of AI technology and the complexity of the concept of responsibility. On the one hand, the dual characteristics of AI as both a self-subject and a technological tool determine that both human self-subjects and AI have a causal relationship with machine behaviors, and both can be regarded as the perpetrators of machine behaviors. On the other hand, moral responsibility often means very different but somewhat logically connected meanings in different contexts. The development of AI has created a separation of different types of responsibility attribution, as well as a tear in its attribution of certain responsibilities. However, in terms of the chain of responsibility of artificial intelligence, the chain is always complete and there is no so-called responsibility gap.
