Abstract

The rapid development of artificial intelligence is boosting demand for the metals needed for the electronic components used in data storage systems, such as copper. These increased needs are further contributing to the booming demand for copper linked to the energy transition, and accentuating the imbalance in this market, with risks for financial stability. Le développement rapide de l'intelligence artificielle entraîne une augmentation de la demande de métaux nécessaires pour les composants électroniques utilisés dans les systèmes de stockage des données, comme le cuivre. Ces besoins accrus viennent renforcer la forte hausse de la demande de cuivre liée à la transition énergétique, et ainsi accentuer les déséquilibres sur ce marché, avec des risques pour la stabilité financière.
