## IMF calls for AI safeguards
The IMF urged India, US, and China to build guardrails against AI-driven market volatility.

> If there are no safeguards, then the risks may exceed the opportunities. And above all, we do need an ethical foundation, and i’m not sure we are there as a society
## Georgieva's warning
IMF Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva warned that unregulated ai could create economic risks and job losses.

> If there are no safeguards, then the risks may exceed the opportunities. And above all, we do need an ethical foundation, and i’m not sure we are there as a society
## AI economic risks
AI could cause job losses or financial corrections if productivity gains fail to materialize quickly.

> We don’t know which one of those two crises we’re going to have to deal with, whether it’s the jobs crisis or the financial crisis
## US terminology push
The US seeks to rename ai as 'super intelligence' in international statements.

> President trump has been really clear on this, and he’s, you know, using the term si, and i think it’s a clear priority for the us to use that term
## Global AI framework
The IMF did not outline specific proposals from India or China for a global ai framework.
## Ethical standards needed
Georgieva emphasized the need for an ethical framework and measures to manage ai’s risks.
## AI investment risks
Companies have invested heavily in ai hardware, software, and data centers, risking financial market instability.
## Georgieva's call for action
Georgieva urged countries with major ai industries to participate in shaping global ai safeguards.
## US-China-Taiwan tensions
The US seeks international support for using 'super intelligence' instead of ai in official discussions.
## Key takeaway

IMF warns AI risks could outweigh benefits without safeguards, urging major economies to shape global AI governance.
