Fed officials concerned about investment risks of AI

According to CoinMeta, and as reported by Reuters, Federal Reserve officials have begun to pay attention to whether investments that are driving the development of the artificial intelligence industry have gotten out of control and may pose risks to the financial sector. Although some officials call for vigilance, they believe that a financial crisis similar to the housing crisis 20 years ago is not likely to occur at this time. John Williams, president of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, stated that the current investment boom does not constitute a bubble, but rather a high level of excitement and enthusiasm for new technologies. Williams pointed out that although lending to support AI investments has increased, these investments are managed by companies with strong profitability, so he is not concerned about the financial stability risks associated with leverage. Other Federal Reserve officials are more cautious about AI risks. Jeff Schmidt, president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City, mentioned in a speech on Tuesday that the liquidity of industry financing could become a potential channel for risk transmission. Mary Daly, president of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, also said that the growth rate of AI investments is concerning, but many of the commitments are still in the announcement stage and have not yet been converted into actual assets.
