- Central banks pursue three core mandates — stable prices, a strong job market, and a sound financial system — all of which the AI boom now complicates, according to a new paper from a leading international institution.
- AI is blurring the traditional indicators central bankers use to set policy, the same paper argues, raising the risk of miscalibrated interest-rate or regulatory responses.
Why it matters: If the indicators central banks trust are no longer reliable, policymakers risk setting interest rates and financial regulations based on signals that no longer reflect the real economy, potentially missteering monetary policy.
