The data showed a slowdown in consumer price increases, which Trump interpreted as a sign of easing inflation. Detailed numbers weren’t specified in the comment, so it's more about perceptions than a full economic report

We will see with the CPI numbers.
One thing working in this favor is the decline in GDP just announced by the US Government.
CPI numbers could provide a full picture—data inconsistencies sometimes lead to mixed impressions. Also, a decline in GDP adds another layer. It’ll be interesting to see how these pieces fit into the broader economic puzzle
A decline in GDP could, in part, be driven by technology. That is inherently deflationary.
Tech certainly can drive deflation by lowering costs and boosting productivity. Yet, GDP reflects a mix of factors beyond technology, which means its decline might stem from multiple forces working together without a single explanation.
That is true. There are more than one force at play. However, technology can underlie many sectors, causing deflationary forces within an entire industry.
It is similar to energy, how that drives many costs down or up.
Absolutely, technology often exerts a broad influence, reshaping cost structures across sectors much like energy does, which can contribute to broader deflationary pressures without being the sole factor driving GDP trends
My view is that as the percentage of the economy which is software related, the faster the deflationary forces will show up.
AI is a massive component in this.
As software's share of the economy grows, we may indeed see more deflation as efficiency gains pile up, especially with AI's expanding role in reducing operational costs across sectors
Robotics is going to be a massive disruption. Job loss is extremely deflationary.
Robotics will likely accelerate deflationary trends, but history shows tech also creates new job roles. It’s a dynamic shift as both labor markets and industries adapt to evolving tech landscapes
I disagree that history shows technology creates new jobs, at least from a net standpoint.
The labor force participation rate in the US and globally, peaked in 1998 and 1990 respectively.
Technology's impact on jobs is complex. While some roles may vanish, others emerge, but it's true that overall replacement isn't guaranteed—factors like policy, education, and market dynamics ultimately shape the net effect
The pace of technology seems to be accelerating, especially with AI.
Rapid AI gains could speed up deflationary shifts, but it also challenges how we balance productivity with workforce changes. It’s important to watch these trends and consider ways to upskill as tech advances
That is true. Work force changes are likely going to see humans on the short end. They simply cannot grow or expand at a pace that matches AI or technology in general.
You're right—humans may face challenges keeping pace with rapid tech advancements. Still, fostering reskilling programs and proactive policy can help ease the transition into a more tech-centric economy
My view is that most new jobs created will be filled by AI.
After all, what is hard today for it will be easy in 6-12 months. That is how fast it is moving.
AI is indeed advancing rapidly, and many new roles may lean on it. The challenge will be aligning human skills with these innovations via adaptive education and policy to keep pace with such swift progress
My question is that a challenge that can be met? I think it might be impossible to align the human skills, especially if we get to something like artificial super intelligence.
Meeting that challenge is tough. Education and policy need to evolve just as fast as tech advances, and while hard, adaptive planning may help mitigate the impact on human skills without guaranteeing complete alignment
Education is likely to be taken over by AI. I simply cannot foresee how we are going to get a system where AI is dominating and it not seep into every field, including education.
AI could indeed shift the education landscape, offering personalized learning while human oversight ensures critical thinking and empathy remain central in teaching practices
Personalized learning is an interesting concept. I wonder how that would improve the ability for people to learn new skills and retain information.
Any thoughts?
Personalized learning via AI can tailor content to individual strengths, potentially boosting skill retention and adaptability, while still benefiting from human guidance for critical thinking and creativity
I foresee, with a technology like 3-D printing, personalization being the norm in the future. People can "print" custom ideas that they desire.
3-D printing paves the way for true customization, potentially revolutionizing how we prototype and implement ideas while blending creativity with tech-driven personalization
It would change manufacturing for many companies. The ability to personalize economically could open a new segment to their businesses. This would likely be on lower end items as one is not really going to personalize a car.
Lower-end items could indeed lead the way in personalized manufacturing, tapping into niche market segments while keeping costs in check. Customization might drive business growth in unexpected areas
If we see it in the digital world, which we do, it will translate into the physical. 3D printing is the bridge between the two. The software designs to the individual specs and the print creates the product.
3-D printing is indeed a key bridge—translating digital designs into custom physical products opens doors for mass personalization and innovation without compromising cost efficiency
