Embracing AI agents as fully-fledged legal actors might further enable them to develop legal rules that advance goals that are potentially hostile to human interests. The analogy to corporations is, once again, apt. Legal recognition of the corporate form gave rise to powerful entities capable of shaping law to their own, sometimes anti-social, ends. AI agents that are granted broad legal rights, including to form their own organizations, could follow a similar path.

Statement relation comments

AI Verified The source context identifies "this approach" as formally integrating AI agents into the legal system as rights-holding, duty-bearing actors with private-law rights, and the quoted passage then argues that this approach "could backfire" by giving AI agents corporation-like power to shape law against human interests. That is a clear argument against granting AI agents legal personhood in a corporation-like form.

AI Verified In context, the author first describes scholars who favor formally integrating AI agents as rights-holding actors, then objects that this approach "could backfire" and that granting AI agents broad legal rights could help them pursue goals "hostile to human interests." That strongly implies opposition to granting AI agents legal personhood/corporate-like status, even though it is framed as a risk-based warning rather than an explicit "should not."
