Legal systems worldwide treat AI as tools or property rather than legal persons or corporations, preventing direct criminal charges against large language models or other systems. No jurisdiction has enacted statutes granting AI personhood or liability, and recent cases involving ChatGPT queries in murders or fraud investigations have targeted human users or companies like OpenAI instead. With only months remaining before 2027, trader consensus at 95% for "No" reflects the absence of any regulatory shift or precedent. Unlikely catalysts that could still intervene include rapid legislative grants of AI legal status or unprecedented court rulings reinterpreting existing laws, though both face steep constitutional and practical barriers.
