Federal Reserve Chair Wosch said during a Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs hearing on the Fed’s semiannual monetary policy report that recent inflation data may not fully capture underlying inflation. He said AI investment is supportive of employment in the short term and will bring disruptive change. Wosch also said he has shifted his own investments into cash equivalents and short-term Treasuries. He expects AI to push up observable price levels over the next 12 months, while adding that whether AI ultimately causes inflation will depend on the Federal Reserve.
