Frank Fagan (South Texas College of Law Houston), Stakeholder Personhood and Artificial Intelligence, Oxford Intersections: AI and Society (forthcoming) on SSRN. Here is the abstract: Legal personhood has long functioned as a tool for settling high-stakes conflicts in corporate organization, immigration, environmental protection, and political representation, and its allocation has consistently reflected the power and preferences of affected stakeholders. This article brings that institutional dynamic to debates over artificial intelligence by treating AI personhood not as a declaration of intrinsic status, but as a governance choice that reallocates responsibility.
