• Sovereign Wealth Funds (SWFs) are shifting their investment strategies away from public stock markets and toward private credit and infrastructure. • This transition is driven by a desire to capitalize on the AI boom and a need to diversify portfolios due to high concentration in public equities.

• The Bank for International Settlements (BIS) has warned that the current artificial intelligence boom could mirror historical economic bubbles, such as the canal, railway, and dotcom busts. • The bank predicts that an overestimation of AI's immediate utility could lead to significant economic damage if investment exceeds actual productivity gains.

• India is strategizing to integrate nuclear energy with its growing artificial intelligence and data center infrastructure to meet the massive power demands of AI. • The initiative aims to leverage nuclear power's stability and low carbon emissions to provide a reliable energy source for energy-intensive computing clusters.

• The Bank for International Settlements (BIS) has warned that "AI exuberance" and excessive speculation surrounding artificial intelligence could pose a significant threat to global economic stability. • This warning appears alongside reports of an Aramco helicopter crash at a Saudi Arabian port and news that Indian snack company Haldiram’s is planning an expansion into European markets.

• The Bank for International Settlements (BIS) has warned that "exuberance" surrounding artificial intelligence could lead to a prolonged investment bust if the technology fails to deliver expected returns. • The BIS cautions that weak productivity gains from AI may trigger a sharp pullback in funding for tech companies, potentially destabilizing the broader global economy.

• The Bank for International Settlements (BIS) has identified a potential AI bust, persistent inflation, and fiscal stress as the primary threats to global economic prosperity. • BIS chief Pablo Hernandez de Cos warned that memories of the 2022 cost-of-living shock increase the likelihood of "second-round effects" on inflation.

• European investors are diversifying their AI portfolios by targeting "enabler" companies, specifically power suppliers and banks, as traditional AI stock options become saturated. • Massive government funding is driving this trend, including over 800 billion euros (US$912 billion) in EU decarbonization grants and a 500-billion-euro fiscal package from Germany.

• European companies, including Siemens, Renault Group, and Orange, are diversifying their AI vendors to mitigate risks associated with U.S. access limits. • Procurement and product teams are shifting their selection criteria from pure performance to operational resilience to avoid dependency on single providers.
