Central bank official warns AI investment could intensify inflationary pressures

This development arrives as monetary authorities are actively engaged in raising interest rates in an effort to curb existing inflationary trends. The official's comments suggest that the AI-driven demand surge could create additional upward pressure on the Consumer Price Index (CPI) in the near term.
