A Federal Reserve official warned that the AI industry could become "another too big to fail" sector amid surging investments and borrowing. Meanwhile, Polymarket currently prices the probability of an AI industry downturn by the end of 2026 at 15%.
The prediction market's resolution criteria are strict, requiring at least three major events within a 90-day window: a 50% drop in NVIDIA's stock, OpenAI going bankrupt or being acquired, H100 rental prices falling below $1.00/hour, or a 50% crash in major hardware suppliers like TSMC and ASML.
