This article studies the possibilities of giving morality to machines and autonomous systems. Its hypothesis is that the design strategies for the development of machines that make moral judgments should take into account a vast complex of contingencies, which are related to each context in which they are implemented — being its user/recipient, its developer, and the purposes for which its use is intended, the most important ones. As a result, it is clear that machines, currently, are not self-conscious yet, but a posture influenced by ethical behaviorism and hybrid design, combining pre-programmed moral postulates and machine learning for the contextualization of each machine, can contribute with possibilities for giving them moral status. Methodology: hypothetical-deductive procedure method, with a qualitative approach and bibliographic review research technique.
