Aug 4 (Reuters) – Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City President ​Jeff Schmid said ‌on Tuesday the financial situation involved in building out the artificial ‌intelligence ​sector ⁠bears watching.

“We have ⁠to correlate what’s happening in AI, just from a pure ​scale standpoint, to some of the ⁠other experiences ⁠we’ve had that ​could, in fact, create ​a systemic problem,” Schmid ‌said at a conference at his bank.

“I would argue ⁠that there’s some signs…that we have to really start ⁠to ‌talk about ⁠that on a ​macro ‌level…is this industry ​becoming ⁠another too big to fail?,” he added.
