Waller: Whether AI Causes Inflation Depends on the Federal Reserve
On July 15, Federal Reserve Chairman Waller stated that he expects artificial intelligence to raise observable price levels in the next 12 months, and whether AI will lead to inflation depends on the Federal Reserve. He believes that AI is a long-term job creator and may have disruptive effects. Regarding the short-term impact of AI, Waller mentioned that it cannot be guaranteed that there will be no job disruptions, nor can it provide reassurance on employment issues. 'The price surge triggered by artificial intelligence is real, and I do not want to downplay it,' he said. (Jinshi) -
Waller: Recent Inflation Data Does Not Fully Reflect Real Pressures; AI Investment Beneficial for Employment in Short Term
On July 15, Federal Reserve Chairman Waller stated during the "Federal Reserve Semiannual Monetary Policy Report" hearing that recent inflation data does not perfectly reflect underlying inflation conditions. He noted that any central bank would be pleased when data moves in the right direction. One-off price changes do not necessarily lead to inflation. Regarding the impact of artificial intelligence, he expressed that in the short term, AI investment is beneficial for employment, and AI will trigger disruptive changes. AI investment could be very favorable for employment as the U.S. is building infrastructure. Waller mentioned that he is seeking access to a range of new AI models, and currently observes that the impact of AI on demand is faster than its impact on supply. -
U.S. May Intend to Apply Comprehensive Economic Pressure on Iran
Mehran Kamrava, a professor of government at Georgetown University in Qatar, pointed out that the Iranian government is "deliberately" announcing the deaths of seven soldiers in a U.S. military attack, attempting to rally national sentiment and solidify public support during wartime. He stated that Iran is experiencing a resurgence of nationalism, with authorities emphasizing the soldiers' sacrifice for the country to maintain public support for the regime. This support is crucial as Iran is deeply mired in high inflation, high unemployment, and economic losses amounting to $270 billion. Kamrava believes that Iran is aware it cannot compete militarily with the U.S., and is therefore shifting the focus of the conflict to the economic realm, with attacks on shipping being a manifestation of this strategy. The U.S. may also respond with similar measures. He noted, "Revolutions cannot occur in hunger. When the public begins to worry about their next meal, basic safety, and housing, the U.S. may attempt to exhaust Iran's economic resilience." (Jinshi) -
