What happened
Argentina's president Javier Milei sent a letter to author Yuval Noah Harari making the case that AI companies should be recognized as legal persons — meaning they'd have rights, responsibilities, and standing in court similar to a human being. It's a fringe idea that's suddenly getting attention at the highest levels of government.
Why it matters
The context behind the story.
Legal personhood for corporations already exists — companies can sue and be sued. But applying that concept directly to AI systems would open a door nobody has fully mapped. Could an AI own property? Sign contracts? Be held responsible for harm? These questions are no longer science fiction.
Takeaway
A sitting world leader is arguing AI deserves rights. We are not in normal times.
