Wild takes in this article: "Law already endows many other non-human agents–corporations, municipalities, states–with such powers. And it does so for the same sorts of reasons we advocate here. Not because such corporate or sovereign rights are morally required, but because they are instrumentally useful to human welfare. Likewise, we do not contend that AGI ownership is the moral equivalent of human slavery. Rather, we show, it is economically equivalent." View quoted note →
