A simulation of a Federal Reserve meeting conducted by researchers at George Washington University used AI agents to mimic real politicians. The agents, replicating the polarized discussions from July 2025, resulted in increased dissent among board members under political pressure. The study highlights that "the Federal Reserve is only partially insulated from politics," emphasizing the external influences on decision-making. Central banks are increasingly experimenting with AI to optimize operations, although none currently use it for policy formulation.
