Professor Paul Dumouchel publishes a critique of the essay

In this article, Paul Dumouchel reviews the essay "Not Quite Like Us? - Can Cyborgs and Intelligent Machines Be Natural Persons as a Matter of Law?" by Prof. Daniel J. Gervais of Vanderbilt University.

Prof. Dumouchel questions the idea that artificial intelligence systems should be granted rights or legal personality, challenging the assumption underlying many ethical discussions of AI.
