English law does not recognise AI as a legal person, and no legislative proposal to alter that position is currently before Parliament. The Law Commission's work on AI and intellectual property has consistently favoured targeted reform over any revision of foundational legal personality frameworks. Regulatory bodies including the FCA and ICO continue to develop AI-specific guidance, with the prevailing approach maintaining human accountability for AI conduct rather than conferring independent legal status on AI systems.
