## Key points

- AI investment has supported US construction and manufacturing.
- A sudden pullback could hit markets and consumer spending.
- Economists see risks from complex financing and rapid expansion.

## Summary

An abrupt curtailment of investment in artificial intelligence could weaken the US economy, which has relied on data centre construction and manufacturing to offset sluggish demand elsewhere. Economists say a collapse in confidence in the AI boom could also trigger a sharp stock market fall, reducing household wealth and consumer spending.

The article warns that complex AI financing arrangements may pose risks to financial stability, and that Nvidia’s leadership changes could affect investment decisions across the sector. The data centre expansion has supported industry but also contributed to inflation and higher borrowing costs; some economists consider a measured slowdown healthy, while Barclays economist Pooja Sriram warns that a sudden reversal could deepen into a downturn.
