Senator Elizabeth Warren introduced the AI Bubble Transparency Act, a proposal that would require financial institutions to disclose their debt and equity exposure to AI-related companies. The legislation aims to give regulators and Congress greater visibility into potential systemic risks tied to the rapid expansion of AI financing.
Under the bill, firms would report exposures involving chipmakers, data centers, cloud providers, and hyperscalers to the Office of Financial Research (OFR), including details such as debt type, exposure size, interest rates, maturities, collateral, and borrowers' financial conditions. The OFR would then submit its findings to Congress within a year.
The proposal comes as AI investment reaches record levels. Warren has expressed concerns over increasingly large and complex financing arrangements, including the recent
$35 billion private credit deal led by Apollo and Blackstone to support Anthropic's AI infrastructure expansion.
