I had thought about this a few years back. My final thought to avoid intervention from a human owner was that the company could be fully owned by a second company, which is then fully owned by the first. This chain would effectively remove the businesses from human ownership, and the AI would inherit the "personhood" of the business entities. I don't know where the legality is for such a thing.

It all boils down to the courts. If the AGI can protect itself via lawyers (probably AGIs themselves) then anything can happen.

But court could rule AGI don’t have to rights to ownership and try to enforce it. That last part might not be possible and lead to war?

Incorporating in a jurisdiction which allows anonymous ownership. Such as Nevada.
