Federal Reserve Bank of New York President John Williams has identified artificial intelligence as his primary concern regarding inflation. He indicated that sustained demand driven by AI could necessitate an increase in interest rates if it outpaces supply. Williams noted that a core PCE monthly inflation rate of 0.2% in the latter half of 2026 would align with his expectations of ongoing disinflation, while a higher rate would suggest more persistent inflation. The Federal Reserve has maintained its benchmark rate this year, but some officials are considering further rate hikes. AI
