Algorithmic entities

Algorithmic entities refer to autonomous algorithms that operate without human control or interference. Recently, attention is being given to the idea of algorithmic entities being granted (partial or full) legal personhood. Professor Shawn Bayern[1][2] and Professor Lynn M. LoPucki[3] popularized through their papers the idea of having algorithmic entities that obtain legal personhood and the accompanying rights and obligations.
