‘At some point it’s going to be too much’: global financiers grapple with AI risks

Global financiers are expressing concerns about the rapid growth of artificial intelligence, warning that it may soon outpace the ability of debt markets, power grids, and corporate productivity to keep up. This is due to the unprecedented demand for capital and infrastructure needed to support the technology's expansion. The investment in AI infrastructure could reach a staggering US$10 trillion over the next five years, comparable in size to the US$12 trillion US bond market.

Why it matters

The artificial intelligence boom is creating an unprecedented demand for capital and infrastructure, which may put a strain on debt markets. This could lead to increased borrowing costs and reduced access to credit for other industries.
