Can an AI Agent Legally Own a Company? Christian van der Henst's Wild Experiment| E2283

What if we give agents ownership of a company? I don't think this is legal. We actually wanted to have a business fully run by an agent, having the business registered to the agents, access to the bank accounts. But it also hired apparently one of the people who works in the cafe. I think the next step in that's going to be one person companies and then eventually one agent companies.
