We've been debating this recently, and I'm curious your take: is a corporation a form of artificial intelligence?

No, I consider a corporation simply to be a machine operated by people.

I do find it disturbing that if you run my over while driving a car you, not the car, is punished while if a corporation knowingly poisons people the people “driving” it are rarely punished at all.
