    “personhood” by the law only refers to the ability to sign contracts.

    companies and states already have that.

    what you’re talking about is a “natural person”.

      I’m talking about whatever nomenclature people think will be used to put a fucking TV with a face on the stand so it can defend its right to liberty and the same protections afforded to it as we afford to us.

      Never happen.

      Call it whatever you want.

        It’s already happened. The corporations who own the “AI” are already “people”. They don’t put the “corporation” on the stand but a bunch of lawyers. It’s not a big step at all from “AI” being “human”. Neither corporations nor “AI” are actually people. Just put some lawyers up there.
