OpenClaw and the Agentic AI Question: A Lawyer's Perspective

This opinion piece examines the legal implications of agentic AI systems like OpenClaw, released in late-2025. The author, writing from a legal perspective, poses three key questions: why society uses anthropomorphic language like "agent" for AI, whether current law supports this description, and if not, whether it should. The piece argues that AI maps well to the human concept of an agent because it acts on behalf of a principal while preserving autonomy and discretion.
