AI boom raises ‘too-big-to-fail’ concerns as ecosystem expands, says Kansas Fed's Jeff Schmid

The Kansas City Federal Reserve President Jeff Schmid has expressed concerns about the rapidly expanding artificial intelligence industry. He believes the interconnectedness of AI companies could lead to a situation where one major player's failure would have a significant impact on the entire ecosystem, much like the 'too-big-to-fail' banks before the 2008 financial crisis. This raises questions about the potential systemic risks associated with the AI boom. The rapid investment in AI infrastructure could lead to economic instability if not properly managed.
