IMF Chief Urges Global AI Cooperation Amid Energy Shock and Debt Pressures

IMF Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva called for international cooperation on AI governance, framing the global economy as caught between a negative energy supply shock and a positive AI-driven demand shock. The remarks, made ahead of the IMF annual meetings in Bangkok, highlight growing inequality in the impact of these forces. The call signals a push for coordinated policy responses, though concrete proposals remain unspecified.
