ECB economists warn AI may fuel a looming market correction

The analysis argues that even valuations that look justified may still need to fall if AI-driven expectations unwind.

CNBC World reports that economists at the European Central Bank are warning that AI could contribute to a market correction, drawing on historical patterns of how market valuations shift after major technological disruptions.

According to the ECB analysis, the risk is not only that valuations are currently excessive, but that they could decline even when they are seen as a fair reflection of AI’s transformative power.

The outlet frames the warning as a “worrisome” signal tied to the possibility that AI-related pricing could later prove too optimistic, which could trigger a broader repricing in markets.
