FMI: Câștigurile generate de AI ar putea să nu reducă inflația

Silvana Tenreyro, the new chief economist of the IMF, warns that increased productivity from AI development may not lead to lower inflation. An analysis suggests that while productivity typically reduces costs, the relationship is complex. Investments and household spending may rise before the economic benefits of AI are realized, potentially leading to price increases. Central banks might need to maintain higher interest rates to control inflation. The impact of productivity on inflation varies by sector, with domestic service productivity generally reducing inflation, while export-oriented gains may increase domestic wages and demand, leading to price pressures.
