Mary Daly discusses AI's transformative potential, emphasizing that productivity gains require business process change, not just cost-cutting. She notes inflation is driven by tariffs and oil, not AI investment. She sees AI augmenting rather than replacing jobs currently, but stresses the need for workforce training. She cautions against extreme views on AI and says the Fed must balance today's inflation with long-term productivity shifts.

yields
Daly says inflation is above target due to tariffs and oil, not AI investment. She expects tariff effects to roll off by year-end, suggesting no strong upward pressure on yields from AI. She doesn't signal Fed tightening or easing on this basis.
