31 December 2025 | ZeroNotification.com | Companion bills introduced in Missouri, HB1746 and SB859, would address potential harms caused by Artificial Intelligence (AI) including liability for AI owners and developers. The proposed legislation declares AI to be non-sentient (lacking consciousness or capacity to feel pain), without legal status, ineligible to be a spouse, or to “be designated, appointed, or serve as any officer, director, manager, or similar role within any corporation, partnership, or other legal entity.”
The “AI Non-Sentience and Responsibility Act” is important because the Trump administration is attempting to strip States’ control over AI, and linked wireless systems (“5G”/”6G”+ satellites). In May 2025, 40 State AG’s sent a letter to Congress opposing a regulatory ban on AI.
“The provisions of this section shall be known and may be cited as the “AI Non-Sentience and Responsibility Act”.
(1) “Artificial intelligence” or “AI”, any software, machine, or system capable of simulating human-like cognitive functions including, but not limited to, learning or problem solving, and producing outputs based on data-driven algorithms, rules-based logic, or other computational methods, regardless of non-legally defined classifications such as AGI, ASI, or GAI;
(2) “Developer”, the party or parties primarily responsible for the design, coding, and initial creation of an AI system; …”
“Any direct or indirect harm caused by an AI system’s operation, output, or recommendation, when used as intended or misused, shall be the responsibility of the owner or user who directed or employed the AI.”
“An AI system is not an entity capable of bearing fault or liability in its own right. Any attempt to shift blame solely onto an AI system shall be void as liability remains with human actors or entities as described in this section.”
