This year’s CCBS flagship monetary policy conference will consider the impact of AI on the macroeconomy and lessons for monetary policymakers.
The programme will feature paper presentations and panel discussions examining how the adoption of AI could affect: innovation and firm level productivity; employment, wages and the distribution of income; the economy’s growth potential and the neutral real interest rate; as well as any associated monetary policy strategy. It will also consider how central banks are using AI to sharpen their analytical toolkits.
Anton Korinek (University of Virginia) will give the keynote speech at the conference.
Confirmed external speakers include Jonathan Haskell (Imperial College Business School), Leonardo Gambacorta (BIS), Bouke Kleine Teeselink (King's College), Maria Del Rio-Chanona (UCL), and other colleagues from academia and the central banking community.
