Temasek’s Chief Investment Officer noted that the unwinding of the AI trade is the primary risk, which could be triggered by tighter regulation, AI safety concerns, or weaker-than-expected returns.

Furthermore, the CIO flagged inflation and interest rates as risks if higher energy prices, supply-chain disruptions, or geopolitical conflicts keep inflation elevated.
