This cautionary message was part of the IMF's latest Global Financial Stability Report, released during the World Bank's annual gathering in Bangkok, Thailand. The report suggests that the rapid growth in artificial intelligence (AI) and the associated investments could lead to financial instability if the returns do not match expectations. The IMF also highlights the increasing cyber risks to financial systems, stating that severe cyber incidents could undermine market confidence and disrupt critical financial infrastructure.
