An Ohio House Bill, 469, is being considered that would prevent human-AI marriages and deny legal personhood to Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems. The bill, introduced by Rep. Thaddeus Claggett, focuses on the legal status of AI rather than cryptocurrencies or blockchain technologies. While this legislation has significant implications for the governance of AI, it won’t affect financial markets like DeFi or crypto. 469 aims to ensure that AI remains a tool and not a partner in any legal sense. The bill is currently under consideration, with upcoming hearings expected to shape discussions about AI regulations. This specific law does not have national implications for the crypto community, leaving it unaffected. Ohio lawmakers are debating what role AI will play in society going forward.
