Trader consensus behind the 95.1% market-implied odds for "No" rests on the absence of legal personhood for any artificial intelligence system or large language model. Current U.S. frameworks treat AI as tools or property, so courts and regulators hold developers, companies, and users liable instead. No jurisdiction has granted independent criminal capacity, and recent state proposals actively seek to block even limited personhood status. Policy focus remains on oversight, deployment rules, and evidence standards rather than direct prosecution. While an abrupt legislative change or novel court ruling could theoretically open the door, typical timelines for such foundational shifts make meaningful movement before 2027 highly unlikely.
