In this podcast, we explore the battle against inflation and how we can use AI and pre-existing policies to combat this ongoing economic problem. With the help of three experts from Björn’s Ph.D. economics program, we discuss the impact of artificial intelligence alongside demand and supply-side policies to bring down one of the biggest concerns in our economy: inflation. As experts, we navigate this problem and how we can shape economic policies to define our future economies in the best way possible.
