The source URL does contain the quote: the WLRN page’s NPR transcript labels it as spoken by “LAWRENCE SOLUM” and gives the text, “The law might very well say, let's recognize artificial intelligences as limited-purpose legal persons that can sue and be sued, that can own shares and can write checks and so on.” Your stored version is a faithful excerpt with an allowed omission after “own shares.” The page is published May 11, 2026, and UVA Law identifies the scholar’s canonical full name as Lawrence B. Solum, so the stored author, date, and source URL are consistent. ([wlrn.org](https://www.wlrn.org/npr-breaking-news/2026-05-11/several-states-considering-ban-on-legal-personhood-for-ai))
