On May 28, 2026, Richmond Fed President Barkin stated that investment in the artificial intelligence sector is exerting pressure on neutral interest rates and showing signs of inflationary pressure. He pointed out that areas such as construction, labor, and electricians related to AI investment are important indicators for observing inflationary pressure. As AI investment continues to grow, demand in related industries surges, potentially leading to a rise in overall inflation levels, which in turn could affect neutral interest rates and the Federal Reserve's monetary policy.
