Fed adapts economic data tools for AI agents

Original: Fed adapting data tools for # AI bots # AI agents already account for half of the visits to the Federal Reserve Economic

The Federal Reserve is updating its Federal Reserve Economic Data platform to serve AI systems, which already account for roughly half of all visits to the site. The central bank is adopting a model context protocol so automated agents can query its databases more effectively. Observers see it as a sign of how heavily AI now drives traffic to public data sources.

Why now: AI agents making up half of traffic to a major official data site is a striking signal of how automation is reshaping access to public information.
