Biden to Issue First Regulations on Artificial Intelligence Systems

Not a lawyer, but that sounds like its describing a person. Does computation have some special legal definition so that it doesn't count if a human does it? If I add two numbers in my head, am I not "using computation"? And if not, what if I break out a calculator?

Are you legally a system, software, or process or a person? Someone will no doubt pedantically try to argue both but judges tend to be spectacularly unimpressed.

I would have assumed both, but I'm probably committing the sin of reading legalese as if it were plain English, which I know is not how it works.

Judges not being impressed with pedantics seems odd though. It would seem like pedantry should be a requirement. Is the law rigorous or not?

In everyday conversation, "oh come on, you know what I meant" makes sense. In a legal context it seems inappropriate.
