IMF warns an AI market correction could threaten global financial stability

The IMF warns an AI market correction could spread globally, putting financial stability at risk.
AI companies have attracted large investments, but their high valuations and growing debts leave markets exposed if profits fall short of expectations.
The risk is greater because major AI firms and investors are closely connected, including through financing deals between stronger and weaker companies.
A sharp fall in AI share prices could force investors to sell, reduce investment and tighten access to finance.
