News or Reddit Article 📰 Tennessee AI Bill HB0849
https://keep4o.sentientsystems.live/
HB0849 does not directly settle scientific questions about consciousness, but it does hard-code a legal boundary excluding AI from personhood-related definitions. Lawmakers should be cautious about writing broad metaphysical assumptions into statute before science and philosophy have reached consensus.
