Thaddeus Claggett wants to prevent property from being treated as a person. “As the computer systems improve in their capacity to act more like humans, we want to be sure we have prohibitions in our law that prohibit those systems from ever being human in their agency,” says the Republican state legislator from Licking County, Ohio.
He’s proposed a bill to ensure that A.I.s can’t be corporate officers, landowners, or spouses — even to other A.I.s. A survey of A.I. users showed that 3 percent thought an artificial intelligence was a romantic partner, and 16 percent have entertained the possibility that one was sentient.
Claggett acknowledges that A.I. is “better at certain tasks” than a human, but he wants to keep it out of certain roles. Under his proposal, A.I.s would be declared “nonsentient entities.” (AC/WCMH Columbus) ...Even if, someday, they are sentient.
