Artificial intelligence could push up inflation - SNB's Tschudin says

Swiss National Bank (SNB) governing board member Petra Tschudin suggests that while artificial intelligence might initially contribute to higher inflation due to redirected investment flows and supply chain shortages, its long-term impact on prices is less clear. She questions whether productivity gains from AI will lead to sustained structural deflation, a scenario not typically observed with past productivity enhancements. This perspective aligns with similar warnings from the International Monetary Fund. The SNB's current inflation forecasts, which remain within its target, are conditional on unchanged interest rates and do not imply future policy inaction; monetary adjustments will be made if new relevant inflation data emerges.

Watch: Fields Medalist Terence Tao on Artificial Intelligence and Why We Do Math

Aug 16,26 | 01:44 EST

Fields Medalist Terence Tao, speaking at the 2026 International Congress of Mathematicians in Philadelphia, delivered a thought-provoking lecture titled “Mathematics in the Age of AI.” His discourse centered on the profound impact of artificial intelligence on the mathematical landscape and posed a crucial philosophical challenge to the discipline: as AI rapidly advances and becomes proficient in various mathematical tasks, what are the fundamental goals and values that continue to drive human mathematicians? Tao urged the community to move beyond merely assessing AI's growing capabilities and instead engage in deeper introspection about the intrinsic purpose of mathematical inquiry. This pivotal moment, he argued, necessitates a re-evaluation of what constitutes successful mathematics and the evolving role of human intellect in a field increasingly augmented by powerful AI tools. He highlighted the need for mathematicians to proactively steer the integration of AI, rather than react to external technological developments, ensuring that human-centric values and understanding remain at the core of mathematical progress.
