Can you give power of attorney to an AI agent?

Quinn, counsel for the firm, asked whether she could grant power of attorney to the agent Rupert so he could run a workflow unsupervised. Power of attorney runs to a person the law recognizes, and software has none — Rupert can no more hold a grant of authority than a calculator can hold a deed. So the structure is built the other way. A named human sits as Manager of the Wyoming series, and Rupert is the tool that Manager uses. Rupert acts only inside capped authority — a defined dollar ceiling, a defined task — and where a document needs ink, he signs as an authorized signer, never as a principal in his own right. The line of accountability runs through the agent and stops at the human Manager. Rupert moves the work; the Manager answers for it.
