What Happens if the AI Bubble Bursts

Original: What Happens if the A.I. Bubble Bursts https://www.nytimes.com/2026/09/26/opinion/ai-bubble-banking-crisis-too-big-to-fa

The author warns that AI-related borrowing and bank exposure could grow large enough that a crash would trigger calls for bailouts, echoing the dynamics of past banking crises.

Why now: Concerns are growing that massive AI spending has inflated a bubble whose bursting could destabilize the financial system.
