Fed Chair Warsh Says US Now Calls AI ‘SI’

The framing matters more than the acronym. A sitting Fed chair casting AI as the defining economic shift of his lifetime, and tying it directly to the central bank's confidence in its own data and policy signals, moves the technology from a market theme into the institutional core of monetary policymaking. The Bay Area hearing suggests the Fed wants proximity to the industry rather than secondhand input. Whether that engagement produces concrete changes in how the Fed reads data and models demand-side effects is the open question.
