A legal entity is anyone or anything the law recognizes as a legal actor.
In addition to human beings, entities include corporations, partnerships,
limited liability companies (LLCs), trusts, estates, government agencies,

Legal entities do not include ships, animals, trees, trademarks, or corporate groups, to name just a few (US Law).
Legal entities can own property, enter into contracts, sue, and be sued.
An entity is “algorithmic” if an algorithm controls it. An algorithm is a set of decision-making rules. The relevant algorithms run on computers.
They are programs (artificial intelligences) that make and execute decisions in response to external circumstances. Algorithms are not entities; they are property.
For the purposes of this Article, an algorithm controls an entity only if the algorithm makes the entity’s decisions without human participation. That a human created the algorithm does not disqualify the algorithm from status as a controller, provided that the human no longer has the ability to modify the algorithm
