IMF chief Georgieva sounds alarm about AI, cyber risks; urges cooperation

Speaking on Friday at the yearly meetings of the IMF and World Bank in Bangkok, Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva urged global financial leaders to work together, according to Business Recorder. She pointed to several pressures on the world economy, naming high debt levels, fast-moving advances in artificial intelligence and a steep rise in cyberattacks. The warning came as the global economy confronts multiple risks at once.

Georgieva described the cooperation needed as both urgent and practical, and tied the range of risks to the need for joint action. The report does not detail any specific measures or commitments from the meetings, so the appeal stands as a general call for coordinated action across national borders.
