Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell and Treasury Secretary Bessent held an emergency meeting with major bank CEOs on Friday to address risks tied to Anthropic’s latest advanced AI model. Such high-level urgent gatherings typically occur during financial crises, signaling concerns about systemic stability linked to AI-driven decision-making in banking and markets. The meeting focused on potential risks if AI models amplify herd behavior by acting on the same adverse economic narratives, accelerating market downturns or liquidity crises. Timing is critical: the session preceded weekend US-Iran negotiations, suggesting geopolitical tensions may intersect with AI’s financial impact, though specifics remain undisclosed. Analysts note the unprecedented nature of regulators targeting AI’s role in financial systems, marking a shift from traditional crisis triggers like credit collapses or inflation shocks.
