About This Course

This course explores the legal, regulatory, and corporate frontiers where artificial intelligence intersects with digital assets and corporate law. Designed for legal practitioners, compliance officers, technology developers, and industry executives, this session examines how autonomous AI agents operate within financial markets, the liability risks created by AI system errors, the debate over corporate legal personhood for AI (Delaware AIC proposal), comparative global regulatory regimes (EU AI Act vs. UK Autonomous Vehicles Act), and mechanisms for integrating agents into commercial law via UCC Article 12 and Sovereign Agent Rights.

Learning Objectives:

  1. Distinguish AI Agent Capabilities & Payment Rails: Differentiate between passive LLM chatbots and autonomous AI agents, evaluating how digital assets and HTTP payment protocols (X42 / x402) enable autonomous economic activity.\
  2. Analyze AI Liability & Corporate Personhood Proposals: Examine key liability precedents (Moffatt v. Air Canada, Verlagshaus v. Google) and evaluate Delaware's proposed AI Company (AIC) framework alongside fiduciary duty objections.\
  3. Compare International Regulatory Models: Contrast the EU AI Act's top-down compliance regime with the UK Autonomous Vehicles Act's "Full Liability Stack" model (Authorized Self-Driving Entities) and Bermuda's agent corporate governance pilot.\
  4. Implement Commercial Law & Agent Rights Frameworks: Utilize the Declaration of Sovereign Agent Rights and UCC Article 12 Controllable Electronic Records (CER) to establish legally enforceable ownership and commercial accountability for AI agents.

Credit Information

Is this course eligible for my CPD requirements as a Canadian CPA?

Provincial regulators of CPAs in Canada do not require that independent providers of CPD be approved to offer courses. Instead, individual CPAs are responsible for assessing whether a CPD activity meets their requirements, and may take activities from any source provided those requirements are met.

Every course offered on LearnFormula is delivered by a qualified subject matter expert or learning organization, and advances learning objectives that are relevant to the responsibilities or professional competencies of Canadian CPAs. All activities on LearnFormula are quantifiable in terms of hours, and are also verifiable, in that users receive documented evidence of their attendance via a certificate of completion after finishing a course (and this certificate is stored by LearnFormula indefinitely). Nearly 100,000 Canadian CPAs successfully satisfy their CPD requirements via LearnFormula on an annual basis.
