Between the Iran war, high gas prices, and wobbly jobs numbers, central bankers have plenty to worry about.

But some see a light on the horizon: artificial intelligence.

AI could lead to abundant production and lower prices, allowing the Fed to lower interest rates, and boost the economy – or so the theory goes.

But how will we know if AI is boosting productivity?

Soumaya is joined by Austan Goolsbee, head of the Chicago Federal Reserve, to discuss these questions and more.

Soumaya and Austan also analyse how Fed chair nominee, Kevin Warsh, might change the central bank; and how Austan feels about Jay Powell’s plans to stick around.
