Research suggests AI expansion may fuel inflation rather than ease price pressures in the near term.
A Deutsche Bank analysis indicates artificial intelligence could have an inflationary effect as adoption grows. The study surveyed three AI chatbots, revealing no clear disinflationary impact in the short term.
The findings contrast with expectations that AI would reduce costs and boost productivity. Previous research had suggested technology-driven efficiency gains could lower prices, but this study highlights potential upward pressure on inflation instead.
No immediate market reaction was reported, though the implications could influence monetary policy discussions if AI-driven inflation risks persist.
