Summary
Asha Sharma, Marc Andreessen and Charles I. Jones were appointed to co-head a Federal Reserve task force studying how AI and other general-purpose technologies affect productivity and jobs.
The panel is meant to inform Fed policy judgments as Chairman Kevin Warsh reviews whether the central bank’s analytical tools, methods and policy approaches need updating for a fast-changing economy.
Jones is a Stanford economist currently on leave at Anthropic, while Sharma brings Microsoft CoreAI experience and Andreessen adds a venture-capital perspective to the group.
The AI panel is one of 5 task forces Warsh has assembled on communications, balance-sheet policy, data and inflation frameworks, with recommendations expected to feed into broader institutional changes this year.
