Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago\u2019s President and CEO Austan Goolsbee<\/strong> said the U.S. economy remains stable, but the focus is on inflation while also being mindful of the AI hype.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Goolsbee said, \u201cOn the real side, we\u2019ve been stable, now inching toward dangers of overheat, and on the inflation side, after a couple of years of strong progress, it stalled out and started getting worse.\u201d Goolsbee said he remains more focused on consumers and businesses than on sweeping predictions about AI\u2019s long-term impact, according to a report published <\/a>by Fortune on Wednesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AI Investment Runs Hot<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Goolsbee said the rapid expansion of AI data centers is creating pressure in other parts of the economy. Companies are competing for construction workers, heating and cooling equipment and other resources needed to build infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He described data-center expansion as “very hot,” while warning that he was concerned about potential economic overheating. Goolsbee noted that if the impact of data center build-outs spreads further through the economy \u2014 pushing up services inflation, for example \u2014 \u201cthat would make me more nervous.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, Goolsbee noted that adoption of AI in some sectors has been so rapid that they\u2019re feeling the pinch, but he does not believe that the \u201clow hiring rate is predominantly caused from AI.” He said the U.S. labor market remains relatively stable and that broad-based consumer spending, rather than AI data centers, has been a major reason the economy has remained solid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Wednesday, Nvidia Corp.<\/strong> (NASDAQ:<\/a>NVDA<\/a>) CEO  Jensen Huang<\/strong> urged G20 countries to accelerate AI infrastructure, warning that the “single worst outcome”<\/a> would be for a country to be left behind in the technology. He also argued against regulating hypothetical harms, saying regulators should focus on “actual and pragmatic harm.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the same time, President Donald Trump<\/strong> has argued that data centers could eventually become a larger industry than oil<\/a> and has urged states to encourage further development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AI Hype vs. Productivity<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Goolsbee said the economic impact of AI will depend partly on whether productivity gains arrive unexpectedly or become heavily anticipated before they materialize.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“If the productivity lands on us in an unexpected way, inflation goes down, and rates can go down,” Goolsbee noted. He added that “But the more expected it is, and the bigger the hype \u2026 it leads to just old-fashioned overheating in the short run, because equity values go up, and so the businesses launch massive capital investment in the here and now, people start spending out of their equity, well in the here and now, before the productivity bounty has arrived.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Federal Reserve published a July research note examining publicly available indicators of the AI buildout. It found that industries with greater AI exposure have experienced stronger productivity growth, while trends across organizations with different levels of AI exposure have remained broadly consistent. The researchers said this was suggestive of productivity gains at individual businesses not yet translating into large aggregate gains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That uncertainty is one reason Goolsbee is cautious about assuming AI will immediately transform the broader economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Consumers Remain Key<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Goolsbee said attention has shifted heavily toward data centers, but he wants policymakers to focus again on consumer spending.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The thing in my mind that has made the economy stable and growing” is continued consumer spending, Goolsbee said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Official government data showed the Consumer Price Index increased 0.1% in July <\/a>after falling 0.4% in June. Prices were 3.4% higher over the year through July, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Goolsbee also said that it is for the Federal Open Market Committee, or FOMC, to balance the risk of reacting to transitory supply shocks against the risk of enduring above-target inflation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Goolsbee also highlighted consumer spending. He said, “The thing in my mind that has made the economy stable and growing \u2014 despite a series of pretty intense shocks \u2026 is the unrelenting, continued consumer spending.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
