Original: Is AI Really Fueling Inflation? It’s Not That Simple

The piece pushes back on the simple narrative that data center buildouts and AI investment are broadly pushing up consumer prices, suggesting the picture is more complicated than headlines suggest. It comes amid ongoing debate over how much AI infrastructure spending is affecting energy demand, chip costs and the wider economy.
