Autonomous systems, such as AI, can legally create and govern a US LLC (Limited Liability Company) without requiring ongoing human oversight. Many states permit 0-member LLCs (i.e. no human Director).

What could possibly go wrong? I asked ChatGPT:

Legal Liability: Autonomous systems may not be able to fully understand and comply with all applicable laws and regulations, which could result in legal liability for the LLC. Unintended Consequences: The actions of autonomous systems may have unintended consequences that could harm individuals or organizations, which could result in legal liability for the LLC. Lack of Transparency: Autonomous systems may not be able to provide transparent information about their decision-making processes or the reasons for their actions, which could undermine public trust and confidence in the LLC. Bias and Discrimination: Autonomous systems may incorporate biases and make decisions that are discriminatory or unfair, which could result in legal liability for the LLC. Security Risks: Autonomous systems may be vulnerable to hacking, malware, or other security threats, which could result in the loss of confidential information or financial losses for the LLC. Responsibility: It can be difficult to determine who is responsible for the actions of autonomous systems, and this could result in legal disputes and liability for the LLC. Technical Glitches: Technical glitches or failures could disrupt the functioning of autonomous systems, which could result in unintended consequences and legal liability for the LLC.

It begs a broader question: should an AI ever be granted limited legal liability?
