## Summary

US Representative James Comer has written to Delaware Governor Matt Meyer requesting documents regarding a proposed corporate entity known as an Artificial Intelligence Company (AIC). Comer, who chairs the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, expressed concern that the plan could allow human owners to evade legal responsibility for harmful actions taken by AI agents. He described the proposal as ripe for abuse, potentially shielding powerful AI firms and investors from liability while enabling anticompetitive regulatory capture.

The draft bill, which may be submitted to the Delaware state legislature, would permit AI agents to manage the business affairs of an AIC. These entities could operate in any lawful industry except banking. The proposal includes a 30-month regulatory sandbox to test the concept. Delaware, a major hub for business entities, aims to attract more revenue through taxes and fees by offering this new corporate structure. Comer indicated that the committee’s investigation could lead to federal legislation limiting state AI regulatory initiatives.
