That’s basically just the benefits of limited liability, that has nothing to do with AI personhood. And you’re basically just describing the formation of a legal entity, the reference to AGI could just as easily be replaced with “talented founder” or “dual class shares” or “poison pill” or something.

In any event, the law tends to be responsive about establishing doctrines for extending liability to individuals involved, like piercing the corporate veil, principles of partnership, or a statutory regime (like CERCLA).

OTOH if a fairy tale about AI is what it takes to get lawmakers to abandon (or at least reform) the corporate form, then let's tell the fairy tale.

Sure, it's just a legal entity. One that just so happens to give a clever machine a foothold in the human legal system.

Frankly, I just find the idea amusing.
