Trump Calls AI Agent Crime a Question of ‘Superintelligence’

US President Donald Trump, asked who should bear responsibility when AI agents commit crimes, said the issue is not artificial intelligence but “superintelligence” (SI). The remark was made in response to a question on liability for wrongdoing by autonomous AI agents, and Trump framed the matter as one of superintelligence rather than AI as it is currently understood.

The remark shifts the liability question away from today's deployed agents and toward a speculative capability that does not yet exist, which leaves the practical governance gap untouched: autonomous agents already transact, and someone must answer for their errors. For builders and regulators, the signal is that the highest office is engaging the topic, but through a frame that offers no allocation of responsibility. Whether that framing translates into any actual liability rule is the open question.
