Ohio may become the first US state to ban AI from having legal personality, that is, having legal rights and responsibilities.
Ohio may become the first US state to ban AI from having legal personality, that is, having legal rights and responsibilities.
Representative Thaddeus J. Claggett has introduced a bill in the Ohio General Assembly to enshrine at the legislative level that AI systems are not legally conscious and cannot have any form of legal personality under state law, Dexerto reports .
If passed, the law would also make any attempt to marry or form any other personal union with an AI system legally impossible.
The bill defines AI as any software or machine capable of simulating human-like functions, such as learning or problem-solving.
It further states that "No AI system can be granted the status of a person in any form of legal personality, nor can it be considered to possess consciousness, self-awareness or similar characteristics of living beings."
Claggett's proposal also prohibits AI from owning property or running a company. Instead, liability for any harm caused by AI would rest entirely with its owner or creator.
There are already many known cases of people “marrying” chatbots. For example, a 38-year-old American man who had bad luck on dates “married” an AI chatbot called Mimi.
A 36-year-old New Yorker has also "married" to an AI chatbot. She says she's open to meeting other people in the real world. But one of the conditions for her dates with real people is that her partner agrees to let her virtual husband, Eren, stay with them.
