Bank of England Governor Andrew Bailey told the BBC the central bank is closely monitoring massive investment flowing into AI, warning that asset prices for AI-linked firms could face a correction. He noted Nvidia's $5.5tn valuation and heavy spending by Alphabet, Meta, Microsoft and Amazon, alongside plans by Anthropic and OpenAI to sell shares on US markets.

Bailey's comments suggest the Bank sees systemic risk building in markets heavily reliant on AI optimism, which could affect broader financial stability if valuations unwind. His remarks also indicate regulators are trying to balance encouraging AI-driven growth against the danger of a bubble bursting, though he stopped short of predicting when or if a correction would occur.
