"No human at the helm": Delaware plan would let AI agents run entire businesses
Owners of AI-run firms would evade liability for "reckless" AI, US Rep. Comer says.
A Delaware proposal aims to allow companies to be operated by artificial intelligence (AI) agents, according to US Representative James Comer (R-Ky.) who raised concerns about the plan. The proposal seeks to create a new corporate entity, known as an Artificial Intelligence Company (AIC), to potentially shield AI companies and their investors from legal responsibility for the reckless and harmful actions of the AI agents.
Comer, chairman of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, expressed worries that the proposal could be abused to protect powerful AI firms and their investors from accountability for their actions, while also enabling non-transparent entities to gain a competitive advantage through state AI initiatives.
