Bank of England warns AI and debt risks together threaten financial stability
Andrew Bailey, Governor of the Bank of England, warned on 30 September that AI poses a growing threat to financial stability and that the UK must prepare for market shocks from an AI correction. The central bank says AI-related debt issuance has increased capital-market exposure; reports cite $450 billion in technology debt and models that bypass controls.
