As AIs Take Over Businesses, Laws May Need Updates to Hold Them Accountable

AIs could soon operate businesses without human oversight, posing challenges for regulating their behavior within legal frameworks.

Legislatures didn't anticipate AIs running businesses when crafting LLC laws, but some states now allow zero-human member LLCs.

AIs can now perform many legal tasks like contract drafting, so businesses may delegate more functions to AI systems.

To ensure AIs follow laws, researchers suggest training AIs on legal data and standards or creating compliance AIs to provide guardrails.

If an AI-run LLC violated laws, courts could order damages or injunctions, incentivizing the AI to understand and comply with relevant laws.
