Big technology companies are rapidly expanding the use of guarantees to back debt financing for AI datacentres and chips, issuing as much as $300bn in commitments in under a year, according to commentary circulating from Adam Tooze. The concern is that much of this exposure is recorded off balance sheets, meaning the scale of contingent liabilities tied to the AI buildout is largely invisible to investors.
Why now: Growing scrutiny of hidden financial risk in the AI infrastructure boom, flagged by economist Adam Tooze.
