flag Trump and allies push for rate cuts citing AI-driven growth, but economists warn AI’s impact will be slow and inflationary.

flag President Trump, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, and Fed nominee Kevin Warsh believe AI can replicate the 1990s economic boom driven by internet-era productivity gains, arguing that a Greenspan-like Fed chair would cut rates aggressively. flag However, economists remain skeptical, noting that past productivity surges were initially undercounted and driven by real technological adoption, not policy alone. flag Current 2025 gains are more likely due to pandemic-era automation than AI, and experts warn AI’s impact will be gradual, with high costs and learning curves. flag They caution that premature rate cuts could fuel inflation without delivering sustained growth, and some, like Fed Governor Michael Barr, suggest AI may even push rates higher due to investment and wage pressures.
