IT Home On November 2, according to tech media TechRadar’s report today, Delaware in the United States plans to relax business regulatory rules to allow companies operating AI agents to be registered. Congress members do not fully agree with this, and a Republican congressman has written to the governor expressing his concerns.
According to reports, James Comer, the chairman of the House Oversight Committee and member of the U.S. House of Representatives, opposed this, fearing that companies operating with AI might pose risks. The Financial Times reported that Comer has sent a letter to Delaware governor Matt Meyer.
He wrote in the letter: “We are concerned that the artificial intelligence company proposed by Delaware (IT Home note: AIC) might be used to protect powerful AI businesses and investors, allowing them to avoid taking responsibility for reckless and harmful actions.”
Also, the Delaware draft stipulates that 30 months will be set as the regulatory sandbox for AIC. During this period, AI must be tested in a regulated environment, and business decisions should be made by intelligent agents. Like normal businesses, AI companies can become targets of litigation, and they can also initiate litigation when necessary.
The plan in Delaware could help establish organizational structures for AI core enterprises, such as independently operating businesses. Many believe that if states in the United States don’t take action soon, such enterprises might emerge overseas first.
University of California law professor Andrew Baker believes that Delaware legislation is seeking a compromise to provide legal certainty for businesses established by AI agents.
