BIS 警告 AI 泡沫风险：杠杆供应链可能引发金融冲击

Linkedin post by Yann LeCun (@ylecun ) today. The Bank for International Settlements (BIS), commonly called “the central bank for central banks,” said in a late-June report that they were getting worried about an "AI bubble". --- (I posted about the full BIS report which you can see in the quoted post)   > **引用原帖 Rohan Paul (@rohanpaul_ai):** > Central bankers now fear the AI gold rush could seed the next major financial shock. > Bank for International Settlements (BIS) just issued one of its sharpest warnings yet about debt building behind the AI boom. > The danger is not AI itself; the danger is building a leveraged supply chain around revenue that has not yet proved durable. > The risk is that if AI demand disappoints, data-center spending could slow, borrowers could struggle to repay, and stress could spread from tech into credit markets. > AI demand pushed hyperscalers to spend heavily on chips, data centers, and power capacity, and that spending supported growth, trade, and easy financial conditions while equity investors priced in years of high earnings growth. > Debt changed the shape of the boom because hyperscaler bond issuance topped $100B in 2025, while off-balance sheet vehicles shifted data-center obligations toward private credit funds, insurers, and other non-bank lenders. > Circular financing adds another weak point because chipmakers, hyperscalers, AI labs, and compute providers can fund each other while also booking future sales from each other, which can make real demand harder to read. > A capex slowdown could hit suppliers first, then credit markets, then households, because US stocks make up about 64% of the MSCI Global index and household equity exposure is higher than in past cycles. > Private credit raises the systemic risk because direct lenders have quadrupled AI and IT exposure in 5 years to about 15% of portfolios, while some retail-facing funds already face redemption pressure. > AI can still deliver real productivity gains, but the financing stack now assumes that delivery arrives fast enough to support huge fixed costs. > https://x.com/rohanpaul_ai/status/2071364553104081361
