I suspect it's a summary of the first line of the abstract:
> "In an article published in the Northwestern University Law Review in 2014, Professor Shawn Bayern demonstrated that anyone can confer legal personhood on an autonomous computer algorithm merely by putting it in control of a limited liability company."
Given that the first sentence is too long, I think it's a reasonable summary of it, though reasonable people may disagree.
In these cases, it's really helpful to provide what the actual title is (in this case "Algorithmic Entities"), and, if so inclined, a suggestion for a better title. It provides something actionable that a mod can use when updating. Do you have any suggestions for a better title?
And if you've really got a bee in your bonnet, you can let the mods know directly via the Contact link in the footer. They don't see every comment but emailing them makes sure they see it.
- IncRnd 9y ago> Given that the first sentence is too long, I think it's a reasonable summary of it, though reasonable people may disagree. The difference between the title and the contents is the difference between control and ownership. They are not the same. The article discusses control not ownership. That is also the case in the portion of the article you quoted.
