@ProjectVictory wow, I can't believe they gave citizenship to one of the most uncanny valley robots ever made lol. I suspect the engineers weren't persecuted for murder when they powered it down though.

@ProjectVictory doesnt seem like it ?

If an AI becomes CEO, does that count? It would be a digital intelligence controlling a legal entity.

@marktwse not if the state doesnt recognize it as a person / separate entity with legal considerations apart from the business
