Why States Are Right To Reject AI Legal Personhood Authored by Siri Terjesen and Michael Ryall via The Epoch Times, A quiet but consequential legal movement is gathering momentum. Idaho and Utah have enacted statutes declaring that artificial intelligence systems are not legal persons. Ohio’s House Bill 469 proposes to declare that AI systems are “nonsentient entities” and bars them from acquiring any form of legal personhood. Similar bills are advancing in Pennsylvania, Oklahoma, Missouri, South Carolina, and Washington. The legislatures driving this movement are not technophobes. They are drawing a necessary line that philosophy, law, and common sense all demand. The pressure in the opposite direction is real. In January, at the World Economic Forum in Davos, historian Yuval Noah Harari described AI as “mastering language.” Since language is the medium through which law, religion, finance, and culture are constituted, AI may soon be capable of acting within every institution humans have built. Harari asked whether countries would recognize AI as legal persons—whether AI could open bank accounts, file lawsuits, and own property without human supervision. The prospect is not science fiction. It is a policy choice, and the wrong choice would be deeply consequential. Phantasms versus Nous Aristotle argued in De Anima that all sentient creatures share a basic cognitive capacity to perceive the world, retain impressions of it, and recombine impressions into new configurations—what he called phantasia , imagination. A dog, a crow, and a chess grand master possess this competency. Aristotle distinguished human beings as categorically different: possessing nous , the capacity to grasp universal, abstract concepts—ideas like justice, causation, and the good—that cannot be derived from any sensory experience alone. A dog can recognize its owner, but it cannot grasp the concept of ownership. A parrot can reproduce a sentence about fairness, but it has no understanding of fair...

Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) has given investors some jaw-dropping projections over the past few years, and during the company's 2026 GTC event, CEO Jensen Huang gave investors another one to unpack. Huang told investors that the management expects $1 trillion in lifetime sales for their current-generation Blackwell chips and next-generation Vera Rubin chips by the end of 2027.

Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) has given investors some jaw-dropping projections over the past few years, and during the company's 2026 GTC event, CEO Jensen Huang gave investors another one to unpack. Huang told investors that the management expects $1 trillion in lifetime sales for their current-generation Blackwell chips and next-generation Vera Rubin chips by the end of 2027. The market has basically ignored this commentary, as the stock has declined since the projection was given. However, I think investors need to be taking this project a lot more seriously than the market is, as it could be signaling that Nvidia has far greater upside ahead. Continue reading
