"Milei wrote a letter to Yuval Harari saying he proposes that AI should be able to incorporate sign contracts, hire people, and sue with no humans in the loop. Legal persons allow for accountability."
Argentine President Javier Milei proposed creating a legal category allowing AI to incorporate, sign contracts, hire employees, and sue without human oversight, arguing it enables accountability through asset seizure. Yuval Harari published a rebuttal warning this creates a non-human shield where citizens could be ruled by entities lacking moral accountability. The debate represents the first major governmental push for AI personhood, with Argentina positioning itself as the global home for unregulated AI development.
