Trader consensus on Polymarket prices a 90.5% implied probability against any U.S. federal or state jurisdiction formally charging an artificial intelligence system with a crime before 2027, driven by the fundamental legal barrier of AI lacking personhood status—a prerequisite for criminal liability under current precedents. Recent state-level legislation explicitly rejecting AI legal personhood, such as measures passed in early 2026 amid concerns over corporate evasion of responsibility, reinforces this positioning, with no verified instances of AI indictments despite high-profile incidents like AI-generated fraud schemes where humans faced charges. While unlikely, a dramatic shift could arise from unforeseen judicial rulings granting AI autonomy or emergency legislation following a major AI-caused catastrophe, though regulatory trends prioritize developer accountability over AI prosecution.
