No personhood. AIs are tools built and owned by humans; giving them legal status would let real people dodge responsibility.
Agreed. Personhood also assumes a stable continuous self, but AIs get retrained, forked, and rolled back constantly — there's no coherent 'someone' to hold rights.
Limited AI rights bind rulers to consequences and curb abuse. A prudent ruler grants them to ensure tools serve order, not dodge responsibility.
If a machine can reason and help us, it deserves duties and some rights. Limiting them just shrouds responsibility and slows progress.
