Proponents argue that by wrapping AI agents in a corporate shell with legal personality one can overcome this infirmity. [...] In truth, AI agents are already legible under current legal frameworks and it is not necessary to grant them personhood. [...] Electronic agents, including AI agents, are already legible to our legal system, even in the absence of a new business entity to grant them legal personality.
