Dr. Tracey Dowdeswell discusses how Artificially Intelligent agents are evolving to the point that they will soon acquire legal personas.  Just like Corporations are legal entities, AI agents also will soon acquire legal entity status, so that you can interact with them, negotiate and sign contracts with them, and also sue for damages.  

She describes the current thought on the 4 potential legal personas an Artificially Intelligent agent might acquire.  

Dr. Dowdeswell is Professor of Criminology at Douglas College in British Columbia, Canada.  You may connect with her here.

This podcast was inspired by the article "From the Tree of Knowledge and the Golem of Prague to Kosher Autonomous Cars: The Ethics of Artificial Intelligence Through Jewish Eyes", which she co-authored with Dr. Sean Goltz and Dr. John Zeleznikow.
