The Bank of England has issued a warning about the increasing risk of a sudden correction in global markets due to soaring valuations of AI technology companies. The bank highlighted the potential for a sharp repricing of assets, particularly in the AI sector, where companies like OpenAI and Anthropic have seen significant increases in their valuations.
