Central Banks Worldwide Warn Booming AI Could Trigger Global Financial Crisis

The Bank for International Settlements (BIS) and IMF have warned that massive, debt-reliant AI investments could pose a risk to the global financial system.

The Bank for International Settlements (BIS), an organization that advises central banks worldwide, issued a warning that large, debt-fueled investments in AI data centers and opaque transactions are increasing the risk of a global financial crisis. Pablo Hernández de Cos, General Manager of the BIS, stated that this spending pattern could lead to a financial collapse similar to the global credit crisis nearly two decades ago. The BIS also pointed out that complex financial relationships among major AI companies, shadow banks, and data center developers could trigger an "investment downturn" if returns fall short of expectations. The IMF added that the main risk is not a stock price bubble, but rather tech companies using long-term debt to invest in rapidly changing infrastructure. Meanwhile, Sarah Breeden from the Bank of England warned that autonomous AI trading agents could amplify market volatility if they act in unison.
