What happened
The Federal Reserve's November Financial Stability Report puts the largest US bank holding companies' exposure to AI infrastructure firms at close to $1 trillion. Borrowing for advanced computing infrastructure passed $680 billion by October, about five times the $130 billion raised in all of 2023, and leases yet to start exceed $1 trillion. The Fed flags 'circular financing' between tech giants and developers and says the banks' AI-linked exposures face the annual supervisory stress test.
