Abstract
A single-member company, as the simplest legal form, provides a suitable framework for testing technological innovations in corporate governance. The central question is whether an independent role can be envisaged for artificial intelligence within such a company. The significance of this issue lies in the absence of clear rules regarding the legal status and liability of artificial intelligence in company law, a gap that has generated numerous theoretical and practical challenges. Adopting an analytical and forward-looking approach, and drawing on theoretical and comparative foundations, this study demonstrates that, at an analytical level and through legal feasibility assessment, the capacities of artificial intelligence in data-driven decision-making and transparency enhancement face two fundamental obstacles: the lack of legal personality and ambiguity in the liability regime. To practically illustrate this challenge, three scenarios are examined: first, artificial intelligence as a managerial assistant; second, as an independent manager; and third, in the position of a partner. The study concludes that the single-member company can function as a legal laboratory, offering a gradual and controlled pathway for the integration of artificial intelligence into corporate governance.
