Comment by Riki Parikh

AI systems are products, not people – and the Missouri Senate voted to make that the law. As AI companies race to build artificial superintelligence that is more capable than humans, elected leaders must act quickly to address the potential risks and harms. SB 1012 does exactly that by barring AI systems from holding legal personhood and ensuring that when AI causes harm, a human is accountable.

Statement relation comments

AI Verified The source page presents this quote as support for Missouri’s SB 1012, and both the quote and surrounding context say the bill would bar AI systems from holding or being granted legal personhood. Because the author is opposing AI legal personhood categorically, that clearly implies opposition to granting AI agents legal personhood specifically as non-human corporations.

Vote answer comments

AI Verified The quote explicitly opposes the statement: it says “AI systems are products, not people” and supports SB 1012 for “barring AI systems from holding legal personhood,” so the author is against granting AI legal personhood, including as non-human corporations.
