NEW w/ @bencasselman: The Fed has a conundrum on its hands as it tries to tame elevated inflation. One of the primary drivers of growth — A.I. — appears nearly immune to the higher borrowing costs the central bank has begun to impose on the economy. That means the Fed might need to tighten the screws on the economy more than otherwise would be the case to sufficiently slow down activity to return inflation to the 2% target. The brunt of that adjustment will fall predominantly on industries more sensitive to higher rates, such as housing and the automotive sector, and in turn the people employed by the companies in those fields.

American consumers are increasingly concerned about AI. It’s even showing up in the University of Michigan consumer sentiment survey 10% of respondents spontaneously mentioned AI. "On balance, negative comments on AI outweigh positive comments," Hsu said. "Still, at this time, AI is far less important for consumer views of the economy than gasoline prices, mentioned by nearly one-third of consumers.”
