[Zhou Xiaochuan: Research should be carried out and plans should be made Prevent financial risks caused by failed investments in the AI field] On October 20, Zhou Xiaochuan, former governor of the People’s Bank of China, said at the 2026 Bund Annual Conference “AI and Productivity Change: Macro Impact under the Technological Transition” roundtable forum that we will undoubtedly face some challenges in the evolution of artificial intelligence technology. Investments fail and some investments succeed. However, considering that there is such a huge amount of money flowing into artificial intelligence and related infrastructure today, once part of it fails, it may trigger financial turmoil and lead to a crisis. This requires large-scale actions to support the economy and rescue some financial institutions. Therefore, we should conduct research and make plans, and reserve corresponding policy tools in the policy toolbox to deal with such turmoil and impacts. (Interface News reporter Yang Zhijin)
