Join Professor James Boyle, William Neal Reynolds Distinguished Professor of Law, for a celebration of his forthcoming book, The Line: AI and the Future of Personhood (publisher description at https://mitpress.mit.edu/9780262049160/the-line/). The new title explores how technological developments in artificial intelligence challenge our concept of personhood, and of "the line" we believe separates our species from the rest of the world but that also separates "persons" with legal rights from objects.
