Citrini AI Report Co-Author Talks 'Scare-Trade' Selloff & Disruption

Feb 24, 2026

The artificial intelligence “scare trade” erupted again on Monday as growing concerns about the disruptive power of AI dragged down shares of delivery, payments and software companies, and sent International Business Machines Corp. to its worst plunge in 25 years.

It began after a bearish report was published over the weekend by a little known firm called Citrini Research.The report, released on social media Sunday, outlined the potential risks to various segments of the global economy, using hypothetical scenarios set in the future, specifically calling out food delivery services and credit card companies as ones facing trouble.

Citrini Research, founded by James van Geelen, presented a scenario set in June 2028 where AI’s disruption has caused mass unemployment for white collar workers, declining consumer spending, software-backed loan defaults and economic contraction. Still, the report notes clearly — “What follows is a scenario, not a prediction.”

Alap Shah, co-author of a Citrini Research report and CIO of Lotus Technology Management joined Bloomberg China Show to discuss.
