Senate Bill 932 aims to clarify the legal status of artificial intelligence (AI) in Wisconsin by establishing that AI is not considered a person under state law. The bill defines artificial intelligence and outlines the roles of developers, manufacturers, and owners, while explicitly stating that AI cannot own property, hold legal titles, or serve in roles such as a spouse or corporate officer. Additionally, it emphasizes that AI cannot be granted any form of legal personhood or be subject to liability.

To implement these provisions, the bill creates a new section, 134.44, in the statutes, which details the definitions and restrictions related to AI. It also amends the existing definition of "person" in section 990.01 (26) to clarify that it does not include artificial intelligence. This legislation seeks to ensure that all rights and responsibilities associated with AI are attributed to the human developers, manufacturers, or owners, thereby preventing any legal ambiguities regarding the status of AI in Wisconsin.
