Resumo

This article is focused on the impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI) on the legal sector. The first part is dedicated to making general points about AI. To face the new challenges, in Europe, the discussions are moving in the direction of granting legal personhood to AI. In the second part, Prof. Shawn Bayern’s theory emerges as an alternative. According to him, it is possible to use an American LLC to encapsulate autonomous systems, letting them act juridically through this legal entity. In the sequence, Bayern’s proposition is analyzed from the perspective of Brazilian LLC law, showing that the pace of technological innovations will soon lead to similar legal structures in Brazil.
