"No human at the helm": Delaware plan would let AI agents run entire businesses

Owners of AI-run firms would evade liability for "reckless" AI, US Rep.

The short version

• Owners of AI-run firms would evade liability for “reckless” AI, US Rep.
• A Delaware proposal to let companies be operated by AI agents would help the firms’ human owners evade legal responsibility for reckless and harmful actions taken by the AI, US Rep.
• James Comer (R-Ky.) told Delaware Governor Matt Meyer in a letter yesterday.

What happened

Comer suggested he may propose a federal law that would limit states’ regulatory authority. AI-run companies could operate in just about any industry except banking.

Why it matters

“An AIC may have any lawful purpose, regardless of whether for profit, except for the business of banking,” according to a draft bill that may be submitted to the Delaware state legislature.
