"At the one-year horizon, all three tools agreed that the most likely outcome is minimal impact. But more striking: every model rated AI raising inflation as more probable than AI meaningfully reducing it."
"dbLumina put the odds of AI lifting inflation at 40%, versus just 5% for a meaningful decline. Claude: 25% vs. 5%. ChatGPT: 20% vs. 5%."
"The culprit cited consistently across all three models is the AI investment boom itself. Data centers are multiplying. Semiconductor demand has surged."
A consensus exists that artificial intelligence drives disinflation by replacing human labor and boosting productivity. However, Deutsche Bank's economists tested this belief using AI tools, which surprisingly disagreed. They found that leading AI models predicted minimal impact on inflation in the short term, with a higher probability of AI raising inflation rather than reducing it. The increase in demand for data centers and semiconductors, along with rising electricity consumption, were cited as contributing factors to this inflationary pressure.
