The European Central Bank is considering a review of banks’ lending related to data centres, Bloomberg reports, as it seeks to assess risks from swings in AI sentiment and valuations.
Why it mattersThat makes the financing behind AI infrastructure a subject of scrutiny, not just the chips and electricity needed to run it. For now, this is a review under consideration, not a new rule or lending restriction.
Discuss: Would closer checks on data-centre lending help banks spot risk, or could they make it harder to fund infrastructure the AI industry is racing to build?
