Can be any US court at any circuit or layer of appeals. Resolves immediately on the ruling, even if that ruling is later overturned.

Dec 27, 8:28pm: The intention is for the phrase “legally a person” to capture any kind of legal personhood, including both natural and juridical persons (i.e. corporations).

In the event that the resolution is unclear due to the creation of some new category for “AI persons” with only some of the rights of other legal persons, then the resolution will depend on our judgement on whether they have the majority of rights of other legal persons (e.g. enter into contracts, sue, be sued, own property, etc).

Can you clarify your definition of a "person?" IE, the same amount of "personhood" that I have, or the same amount of "personhood" an LLC or C corporation has?

I think this would very likely happen within 10 years of AGI, if the US court still exists at that time.
