Kevin Warsh is the chair of the Federal Reserve.

The questions were about how AI affects inflation.

There was also a question about meeting President Trump.

He said he would give less guidance on interest rate moves after taking office.

He also mostly avoided explaining possible economic changes.

This disappointed the Fed watchers.

Chair Wash talked about how putting money into AI systems changes things.

He said, "I do not see one-time price changes as inflation."

But he added, "Whether that is inflation depends on the Fed's decision."

High-tech companies are spending hundreds of billions of dollars on data centers.

Companies like Apple and Microsoft had to raise their product prices.

The Fed meeting notes say many committee members think AI infrastructure demand will keep pushing up tech product and electricity prices.

Chair Wash did not value the good inflation data enough.
