AI as Agents
Pınar Çağlayan Aksoy · Cambridge University Press eBooks · 2022
The AI agent does not have legal personality. It cannot be sued in court and it has no patrimony. Therefore, applying the law of agency seems to depend on granting intelligent agents a legal personality. Without legal personality, no declaration of intent would exist; without a declaration of intent, the law of agency is not applicable. Applying agency law principles to the problems that arise as a result of transactions generated by AI agents creates more problems than solutions. Therefore, applying the law of agency seems to depend on granting intelligent agents a legal personality.
