Systemic risk

As explained in The Complete Obsolete Guide to Generative AI

The risk that disruption in one part of a financial system propagates broadly enough to impair the system as a whole.

Systemic risk is the danger that coordinated behavior across a financial system turns local decisions into widespread instability. Millions of investors buying or shorting the same security could trigger a flash crash or deepen market disruption. section 10.15

When a crowd moves the market
