Our laws for carbon-based brains were designed pretty explicitly for carbon-based brains. Why assume these completely different things should be (legally) equivalent despite only superficial similarities?

In America, companies are people, no brain required and are protected in many ways because of that classification.

To me, the similarities do NOT seem superficial in any way.

I'd argue you're not looking very deep. On a physical level, chips and brains are entirely dissimilar. Some algorithms may share the same names, but that's about it. Brains aren't doing matrix multiplications all the time and chips don't use the Krebs cycle.
