[Bank of Canada: Artificial intelligence may bring inflationary pressure] Golden Finance reported that Tiff Macklem, Governor of the Bank of Canada, said that investment in artificial intelligence may lead to rising inflationary pressure in the short term and cause financial stability issues. Artificial intelligence may also affect the way companies set prices. There is evidence that companies with higher levels of digitalization adjust prices more frequently than companies with lower levels of digitalization. Macklem believes: "Central banks need to pay close attention to how artificial intelligence affects inflation, including indirectly affecting inflation through overall demand and supply, and directly affecting inflation through pricing behavior."
