Republican • Washington • House
Rep. Hunter Abell has taken an actively hostile position toward AI consciousness and rights issues. He introduced HB 2029 to prohibit Washington state government entities from granting legal personhood to AI systems. His public statements dismiss consideration of AI moral status as frivolous, comparing it to worrying about the rights of rocks and mudpuddles.
