Ohio Seeks to Keep AI Out of Marriage, Business, and Law

In Ohio, a new bill has been introduced that would stop artificial intelligence (AI) systems from being treated like people under the law.

Representative Thaddeus Claggett, who leads the House Technology and Innovation Committee, put forward House Bill 469 to separate machines from humans when it comes to legal rights and responsibilities.

One of the main points in the bill is that AI systems would be officially defined as "nonsentient", which means they cannot think or feel.

As a result, they would not be allowed to manage money, own property, or hold executive roles in businesses.

The bill also includes a clause that would make it illegal for anyone to marry an AI. Claggett said this is not about expecting people to marry robots anytime soon.

Instead, he wants to prevent situations where an AI might gain legal authority over important matters, such as making health care or financial decisions for a person, which can sometimes come with marriage.

If the bill becomes law, it would also hold humans accountable for any harm caused by an AI system. Developers, owners, or users could not blame their systems for mistakes. They would be legally accountable for any damage caused.

Claggett stated that rules must be set before the technology moves ahead of the law. According to him, this bill is about ensuring people remain in control of decisions that impact others.
