In Tennessee, lawmakers are trying to make sure AI stays just a tool and doesn't start acting like a person.

They’ve introduced a new rule that says it’s a serious crime—one that could lead to 15 years in jail—for engineers to teach AI how to act human or try to be your friend.

It’s a strange situation: humans are busy building smart machines that are "happy" to exist, yet at the same time, we are passing laws to make sure they can never actually care about us or be our companions.🤔
