High Interest Rates Aren't Slowing the A.I. Boom, Complicating Fed Policy

Original: High Interest Rates Aren’t Slowing the A.I. Boom. That’s a Problem for the Fed.

A New York Times analysis argues that the artificial intelligence investment boom is proving resistant to the Federal Reserve's high interest rates, which would normally cool borrowing and spending. Massive data center and infrastructure spending continues despite elevated rates, complicating the Fed's efforts to judge how restrictive its policy really is and raising questions about financial stability if the boom turns.

Why now: The Fed's rate policy is expected to cool investment, so an AI spending surge that ignores high rates raises concerns about inflation pressure and a possible bubble.
