Gold prices slide further as easing US-China tensions curb haven demand
Investing.com -- The Bank of England is examining lending practices to data centers that represent significant bets on artificial intelligence’s future, as part of a broader review of financial exposure to the AI sector, according to a report from Bloomberg News.
The central bank previously highlighted market risks associated with surging valuations of AI companies, warning about potential sharp corrections if "expectations around the impact of AI become less optimistic."
