BIS AI Capex Warnings Overstate Systemic Threat
Direct rebuttal to Factum's BIS AI bubble framing using revenue and regulatory data showing contained rather than systemic exposure.
The Factum's BIS report coverage claims AI capex disappointment and circular financing pose immediate structural threats to credit and equity markets. This overstates the risk: actual 2024-2025 data shows hyperscaler AI spend driving measurable revenue, with Microsoft reporting $25B+ Azure AI revenue growth and Nvidia posting record data center sales above $100B annualized run rate. Federal Reserve and IMF analyses from the same period flag overinvestment risks as manageable rather than systemic, citing diversified funding and productivity gains already appearing in enterprise adoption metrics. Circular financing claims echo 2021 SPAC concerns but lack equivalent leverage ratios in current AI debt structures.
Ordinary investors will see continued AI infrastructure buildout priced in for years, not a sudden bust.
