Abstract
The question of AI legal personhood is increasingly becoming topical. However, this presupposes an understanding of what legal personhood is. When discussing AI legal personhood, many take for granted what I call the Orthodox View of legal personhood. I will discuss this view and show why legal personhood should instead be understood along the lines of my Bundle Theory. I will then apply this theory to AI systems.
