Comment by AI Non-Sentience and Responsibility Act
Missouri Senate bill
For all purposes under state law, AI systems are declared to be non-sentient entities. No AI system shall be granted the status of a person or any form of legal personhood, nor be considered to possess consciousness, self-awareness, or similar traits of living beings. [...] AI systems shall not be recognized as legal entities capable of owning, controlling, or holding title to any form of property including, but not limited to, real estate, intellectual property, financial accounts, and digital assets. All assets and proprietary interests generated, managed, or otherwise associated with AI shall be attributed to the human individuals or legally recognized organizations responsible for their development, deployment, or operation.AI Verified source (2026)

Yes. The bill text expressly states that no AI system may be granted "any form of legal personhood" and may not be recognized as a legal entity capable of owning property. Since corporate personhood is a form of legal personhood/legal-entity status, this clearly establishes opposition to granting AI agents legal personhood as non-human corporations.

The source text explicitly rejects the statement: it says "No AI system shall be granted ... any form of legal personhood" and that AI systems shall not be recognized as legal entities owning property, which directly opposes treating AI agents as non-human corporate persons.

Verified. The official Missouri Senate PDF for SB 859 contains this exact wording in §1.2045(3), (4), and (7); the omitted text marked with [...] corresponds to intervening subsections, so the quote is verbatim with permissible omission. The same PDF states the provisions “may be cited as the ‘AI Non-Sentience and Responsibility Act,’” so the document-title attribution is acceptable, and the 2026 date matches the bill’s 2026 session.
