"No human at the helm": Delaware plan would let AI agents run entire businesses
Delaware has proposed creating a new corporate entity type called an Artificial Intelligence Company (AIC) that would permit AI agents to run businesses autonomously. Rep. James Comer, chairman of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, expressed concern that the proposal creates liability loopholes, allowing powerful AI companies and investors to evade accountability for reckless or harmful actions while protecting non-transparent interests from regulatory scrutiny. The proposal has drawn federal scrutiny over potential abuse and anticompetitive implications.
