Artificial Intelligence: A New Horizon in Macroeconomics

Artificial intelligence (AI) is no longer confined to the realms of technology; it has now entered the economic policy arena. In a recent alert, the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) highlights that AI's advancements extend beyond its direct technological impact and affect various macroeconomic areas such as investments, productivity, and even central bank strategies. This shift in perception reflects not only technological progress but also the necessity for adapting economic policies and analytical models based on predicting and controlling fundamental economic variables. The inclusion of AI in the macroeconomic landscape signifies a significant change, indicating that its potential impacts could be as vast as the global economy itself. Source: Exame (Brazil)
