Global watchdog warns private credit fueling AI boom risks sizeable losses

The Financial Stability Board (FSB) has issued a warning regarding the private credit industry's significant role in funding the AI boom, cautioning that a market correction could result in substantial losses. AI firms are increasingly relying on private lenders for infrastructure, making up over a third of private credit deals in 2025. The FSB highlighted risks such as potential shortfalls in electricity supply for data centers and an oversupply of data centers outpacing AI demand, which could negatively impact AI company valuations and investor returns.
