To adapt the words of Sir Edward Coke in the case of Sutton's Hospital:Here's an interesting idea. You know how we all hear these sci-fi stories about AI wiping out mankind because of the damage it's doing to the world. How about AI committing suicide after finding out what it's doing.

And it is great reason that an Artificial Intelligence in expectancy or intendment, or nomination, shall be sufficient to support the name of an Incorporation, when the Artificial Intelligence itself is onely in abstracto, and resteth onely in intendment and consideration of the model; for an Artificial Intelligence aggregate of many is invisible, immortal, & resteth only in intendment and consideration of the model; and therefore[1] cannot have predecessor nor successor.[2] They may not commit treason, nor be outlawed, nor excommunicate, for they have no souls, neither can they appear in person, but by programmer.[3] An Artificial Intelligence aggregate of many cannot do fealty, for an invisible body cannot be in person, nor can swear,[4] it is not subject to imbecilities*, or death of the natural body, and divers other cases.
* Really?
