Prediction markets just got wild — there's a fresh bet asking whether AI could actually face criminal charges. The question's pretty straightforward but loaded: can artificial intelligence be held legally accountable for a crime?

This isn't just tech speculation anymore. With AI systems making real-world decisions in finance, healthcare, and beyond, the legal gray zone around machine accountability is heating up fast. Who gets blamed when an algorithm screws up? The developer? The company? Or could we see AI itself in the defendant's seat?

The market's open and traders are already placing their bets on whether we'll witness this legal precedent unfold.

NGL, this question should have been asked a long time ago. Really, just blaming the developers and the company isn't enough. AI can make autonomous decisions, so why can't it take responsibility?

ngl, this issue is a bit outrageous... Can AI really be sued? Then the developers must be trembling with fear, haha

From a code logic perspective, many of these issues are actually pseudo-questions. The legal framework always points to an entity with subjectivity; AI itself has no autonomous decision-making capability, and the accountability chain inevitably returns to the developer or deployer... It is worth noting that this type of market actually bets on the lag of the legal system.

NGL, this thing is bound to come out sooner or later. The era of AI taking the blame is coming, haha.
