The Bank of England Is Watching AI's Cash Waves While AI Stocks Hold Up a Rattled Market

Bank of England governor Andrew Bailey says the central bank is watching the waves of cash being invested in artificial intelligence “very carefully,” the BBC reports.

Take

“Very carefully” is the standard phrasing for a risk a central bank can watch but cannot easily steer. It commits the institution to nothing except attentiveness.

Pushback

Attentiveness is not nothing. The notable part is the pairing: AI strength keeping one market upright while bond-market pressure pulls the other down. Those are two different problems arriving at once.
