China Central Bank’s Pan Flags AI Risks, Opportunities at IMF

China’s central bank governor Pan Gongsheng said artificial intelligence is driving a new wave of technological and industrial transformation that brings both opportunities and risks to the global economy.

Speaking at an International Monetary Fund meeting in Washington earlier this week, Pan said rising geopolitical tensions, protectionism and trade restrictions are further weighing on global growth and increasing financial market volatility, according to a statement published on the PBOC’s website Saturday.
