In this episode, host Bidemi Ologunde explores a provocative question at the intersection of artificial intelligence, law, business, and society: can an AI agent legally own a company? Through real-world incidents involving AI in the boardroom, chatbot liability, DAOs, and emerging agentic AI systems, Bidemi examines where today's law draws the line between automation, control, and accountability. If an AI agent can negotiate, decide, spend, and manage, who is responsible when something goes wrong? Could future companies be legally owned by machines, or will humans always remain the accountable parties behind the code? And how can society embrace powerful AI tools while preserving healthy, transparent, and responsible uses of technology?
