Fed taps Marc Andreessen to help gauge AI’s policy impact under Warsh

Fed Chair Kevin Warsh has tapped venture investor Marc Andreessen to co-lead a task force on productivity and jobs to evaluate how AI and other technologies should inform monetary-policy judgments, part of Warsh’s overhaul of the Fed. Andreessen joins Stanford economist Charles I.
