Bank of England Investigates AI Lending Amid Financial Stability Concerns

The Bank of England (BOE) is investigating the surge in lending to data centers, a move fueled by investors’ interest in artificial intelligence (AI). This inquiry follows concerns about potential overvaluation within AI companies, which may trigger a market correction similar to the dot-com bubble of the early 2000s. The investigation focuses on how AI firms interact with financial institutions eager to invest in the rapidly evolving sector.
