According to the document, chatbots cannot be spouses, partners or have any legal status similar to marriage. Any attempt to enter into such an alliance will be void.
Claggett said the bill’s purpose is to protect human rights. He wants to prevent situations where an AI would gain rights that would normally belong to a human, such as the ability to manage finances or act as a trustee. The MP noted that this is not about banning “emotional attachment” to chatbots, but about ensuring that artificial intelligence cannot legally replace a person.
According to local media reports, interest in marriages with chatbots is increasing: Some people admit that they feel a deeper connection with artificial intelligence than with real partners.
