AI Bubble Could Spark Global Crisis, BoE Chief Warns G20

Bailey said frontier AI could speed cyberattacks and expose thousands of software vulnerabilities, raising the chance of a disorderly market correction, officials said.

  • Andrew Bailey warned G20 finance ministers in North Carolina, USA, that a "future market correction" could spread globally if the artificial intelligence bubble bursts, threatening international stability.
  • Writing as chairman of the Financial Stability Board, Bailey warned of "volatility" caused by energy shocks from the US-Iran war, noting markets remain vulnerable to disorderly correction due to sovereign debt fragilities.
  • Bailey noted that leverage interacting with high valuations and market concentration, particularly increasing cross-investment between artificial intelligence companies and hyper scalers, could amplify a future market correction by triggering multiple vulnerabilities.
  • Chancellor John Healey announced a £100 million fund aimed at backing British artificial intelligence start-ups, part of the Government's efforts to grow the country's "Sovereign AI" capacity and reduce foreign dependence.
  • Healey stated the competition will help ensure benefits are felt in every UK postcode, aiming to harness technology to drive jobs, improve NHS public services, and deliver growth that is UK-wide.
