Statement relation comments

AI Verified The quote is directly about the core policy and clearly expresses opposition: the article frames legal personhood in corporate-style terms (entities that can own property, sign contracts, sue and be sued, as corporations do) and then states, in that same context, that "AIs should not be granted legal personhood." That makes the author’s opposition to granting AI agents legal personhood as non-human corporate-like entities clear.
