Beth Hammack warns AI inflation could force Fed to raise interest rates as demand stays insatiable

Cleveland Federal Reserve President Beth Hammack says surging AI infrastructure spending is driving inflation higher, with hyperscalers paying almost any price for data center equipment. She warns that if inflation persists above the Fed's 2% target, rate hikes may be necessary—a view that contrasts sharply with Fed Chair Kevin Warsh's belief that AI will ultimately prove disinflationary through productivity gains.
