According to Federal Reserve officials, Artificial Intelligence (AI) may prove helpful in reviving the United States’ inflationary challenges.
The United States Federal Reserve has reasons to believe that Artificial Intelligence (AI) may result in deflation, a sentiment that could stimulate the economy.
Utilizing artificial intelligence to Elevate the American economy
During the most recent Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting, policymakers considered factors that might culminate in disinflation.
Factors such as the ongoing reduction of demand-supply pressures in labor and product markets were initially enumerated. The participants also considered variables such as the lagged effects on wages and prices of past monetary policy tightening. The delayed response of measured shelter prices to rental market developments and the potential for further supply-side enhancements were also considered.
Nevertheless, they posited that inflation could be significantly reduced by using Artificial Intelligence-related technology. Implementing this innovative technology has the potential to increase enterprises’ productivity dramatically and, as a result, the economy. Additionally, the FOMC meeting participants noted that inflation expectations for the long term had remained well-anchored.
This anchoring is perceived as the foundation of the disinflationary process. As a result, there is a fundamental need for supplementary favorable data. This will provide assurance and confidence that inflation will continue to trend toward 2% sustainably.
Appeal to Variety of Governments
Emphasizing artificial intelligence (AI) in pursuing disinflationary factors is a critical initiative for the emerging technology sector. This emphasis implies that AI is gradually gaining traction across various sectors and borders. The U.S. government may consider adopting the industry, particularly in light of its efforts to regulate AI in the region.
The Biden administration initiated a project in December 2023 to transform AI, particularly emphasizing security, trust, and safety. The primary objective is establishing essential standards for the secure deployment of generative AI nationwide. Significantly, Biden’s executive order on AI was the initial step in the effort to regulate AI securely within the country. This action is consistent with the European Union‘s initiatives regarding artificial intelligence.
The Council’s Intergovernmental Steering Committee on Media and the Information Society (CDMSI) has established guidelines for the responsible use of AI in European journalism. The principles of democracy, the rule of law, and human rights are maintained by these guidelines.
