Chicago Fed President Austan Goolsbee warned on May 6 that artificial intelligence gains could trigger inflation through premature consumer spending. Goolsbee addressed the risk of overheating even if AI delivers the long-term productivity growth currently anticipated by markets. The central bank must monitor whether wealth-effect spending from anticipated gains outpaces actual output growth.
