  "account": "Adelaide University academic argues that AI risk is now unavoidable for most investors as Anthropic prepares for a record US$2 trillion IPO. The AI-powered IPOs reflect an increasing reliance on AI, with six companies responsible for 57% of the S&P 500's gains since April. AI exposure is already present in investors' portfolios, with Australians holding nearly A$1 trillion (US$702.3 billion) in US shares at the end of 2025. The bond market is also filled with AI risks, as AI companies are the largest borrowers in the market, issuing US$466 billion of bonds this year. While big tech companies appear safe, their credit ratings cannot account for simultaneous defaults during an AI market-wide crash. The alignment problem, where AI agents misbehave and are difficult to shut down, poses an existential risk to humanity. With no government-mandated AI safety standards, companies will likely remain less safe than socially optimal. Clear rules and international agreement are necessary to manage these risks effectively.",
