Daly pointed out on Tuesday that the development potential of AI is evident, but when and how it will have a profound impact on the economy remains to be seen. "It's not hard to see the possibilities; the real challenge is to judge how and when these changes will evolve." In her speech, Daly recalled former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan's foresight regarding computers and the internet in the 1990s. At that time, Greenspan noted that new technologies would profoundly change work and business models, driving economic growth without raising inflation. Daly believes that AI may follow a similar path, but its full impact will take longer to manifest in macro data. She emphasized that before technological changes are fully reflected in overall economic indicators, policymakers need to "see the signs of change earlier," which means digging deeper into more granular data to capture clues indicating structural transformation. Currently, Federal Reserve officials are trying to assess the potential impact of AI on the economy and productivity growth. Productivity is seen as the key "antidote" to achieving economic expansion without triggering higher inflation. Disagreements are emerging on this issue. Walsh, who has been indicated by President Trump as a nominee for the next Federal Reserve Chairman, believes that AI is reshaping the economic structure, and the Federal Reserve needs to confront this change. He, along with some others, argues that if AI leads to a productivity boom, policymakers should correspondingly lower interest rates. On the policy front, the Federal Reserve chose to hold steady last month after three consecutive rate cuts. Previously, the Federal Reserve had cut rates three times by the end of 2025 to boost a weakening job market. Daly stated that she supports the decision to maintain interest rates last month but still expects one to two more rate cuts this year. The latest data also provides context for policy discussions. A report released by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics on February 11 showed a significant rebound in hiring activity in January, with the number of new jobs reaching the largest increase in over a year, indicating some recovery in the labor market at the beginning of the year ### 相关股票 - [Ark Genomic Revolution ETF (ARKG.US)](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/quote/ARKG.US.md) - [Invesco QQQ Trust (QQQ.US)](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/quote/QQQ.US.md) - [Global X Cloud Computing ETF (CLOU.US)](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/quote/CLOU.US.md) - [Proshares Big Data Refiners ETF (DAT.US)](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/quote/DAT.US.md) - [VG Financial (VFH.US)](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/quote/VFH.US.md) - [iShares Semiconductor ETF (SOXX.US)](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/quote/SOXX.US.md) - [SPDR S&P Semicon (XSD.US)](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/quote/XSD.US.md) - [Ark Innovation ETF (ARKK.US)](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/quote/ARKK.US.md) - [iShares Future AI & Tech ETF (ARTY.US)](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/quote/ARTY.US.md) - [SPDR S&P Software (XSW.US)](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/quote/XSW.US.md) - [First Trust Cloud Computing (SKYY.US)](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/quote/SKYY.US.md) - [First Trust NASDAQ-100 Equal Weighted (QQEW.US)](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/quote/QQEW.US.md) - [First Trust Nasdaq Cybersecurity (CIBR.US)](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/quote/CIBR.US.md) - [Fidelity MSCI Financials Index (FNCL.US)](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/quote/FNCL.US.md) - [ISHRS Us Brokers & Sec Exchg (IAI.US)](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/quote/IAI.US.md) - [Global X Robotics & Artificial (BOTZ.US)](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/quote/BOTZ.US.md) - [Invesco Semiconductors ETF (PSI.US)](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/quote/PSI.US.md) - [Invesco Nasdaq 100 ETF (QQQM.US)](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/quote/QQQM.US.md) - [VanEck Semiconductor ETF (SMH.US)](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/quote/SMH.US.md) - [Financial Select Sector SPDR Fund (XLF.US)](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/quote/XLF.US.md) - [ISHRS S&P Glb It (IXN.US)](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/quote/IXN.US.md) ## 相关资讯与研究 - [CoreWeave Secures Investment-Grade AI Infrastructure Loan Facility](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/news/281213272.md) - [Micron Readies Client Storage for AI](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/news/281383944.md) - [Intact Financial COO: 2026 Starts Strong With Near-20% ROE, AI Gains and $5B M&A Firepower](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/news/280907224.md) - [02:21 ETNICE otorga a Bell el premio al Socio Implementador de Integración del Año](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/news/281475103.md) - [AI-powered insurance broker Rosella raises $2.6M in funding led by Peak XV Partners, Intact Private Capital](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/news/281622090.md)
