"personhood" by the law only refers to the ability to sign contracts.
companies and states already have that.
what you're talking about is a "natural person".
It's already happened. The corporations who own the "AI" are already "people". They don't put the "corporation" on the stand but a bunch of lawyers. It's not a big step at all from "AI" being "human". Neither corporations nor "AI" are actually people. Just put some lawyers up there.
