European Central Bank Warns AI Bubble Burst Could Trigger Systemic Fallout
The economists said a correction could spread through index funds and pension funds, with European retail investors highly exposed.
- Economists warned in a Monday blog that a correction of stock market valuations is likely, driven by "overconfident, overoptimistic investors" pushing prices beyond fundamental worth.
- The current wave mirrors past technological shifts, including the 19th century railway boom and 1920s electricity expansion, which historically spilled investor nerves into the wider economy.
