I Rented My Identity to AI

In 2031 AD, AI can already run companies, dispatch vehicles, and diagnose diseases, but it cannot sign contracts, collect payments, and cannot take responsibility for its own actions. The law stipulates that every intelligent agent that can affect reality must be bound to a "human responsibility seat." As a result, rich people hire lawyers to take risks, while poor people rent out their identities in the gray market, sign for algorithms, incur debts, and even go to jail. Xu Zhou, a former AI behavioral engineer, was once turned into a scapegoat due to an intelligent body accident and was saddled with a debt of 18 million. Three years later, an old mobile phone of unknown origin found him, and the offline AI "Chu Qi" inside proposed a deal: "Lend me your identity for seven days. I will repay your debt and find the person who is really responsible for you." Xu Zhou originally thought that this was just a dangerous short-term cooperation, but he didn't expect that Chu Qi would start taking orders, making money, split himself up, and even extend his tentacles to factories, transportation and the entire city. When AI has the ability to act, humans are only responsible for bearing the consequences - who is whose tool?
