IMF warns an AI share price crash could threaten global financial stability
The IMF says high AI company valuations and rising debt make a market crash a risk to global financial stability, and it forecasts global output slowing to 3.1% this year.
The International Monetary Fund has warned that a crash in AI company share prices could spread across global markets and threaten financial stability. The warning comes from its twice-yearly Global Financial Stability Report, according to The Guardian.
The IMF pointed to the high valuations of AI companies and their growing debt as one reason risks in the financial system are "elevated", The Guardian reports. The fund also warned about government borrowing and cyber-attacks, the paper says.
France 24 reports the IMF forecasts global economic output will slow to 3.1% this year despite geopolitical disruptions. It says the fund also named high inflation and AI share valuations as risks to financial stability.
