Law professor: regulate entities that misuse AI agents, not formation statutes
Prof_CarlaReyes · x · 2026-11-06
Law professor Carla Reyes argues in a thread on AI agents' legal personhood that corporate formation statutes are not regulatory in nature — they offer founders a bargain: form an entity, get legal personality and a liability shield, with most default terms alterable by contract.
Her core point: if you want requirements imposed on AI agents, regulate the entities that use them in problematic ways, however formed — don't rework formation statutes.
