Andreessen will share the lead with Stanford economist Charles I. Jones and Microsoft executive vice president Asha Sharma.\n\nThe panel's mandate is to assess how AI and other general-purpose technologies reshape productivity, employment and growth, with findings due by year-end. Warsh has argued AI-driven productivity gains could let the Fed keep rates lower without stoking inflation, though FOMC minutes flagged \"considerable uncertainty\" about the timing and scale of those gains.\n\nThe appointment has drawn scrutiny: Andreessen, a major AI investor and 30-year friend of Warsh, now helps shape the economic analysis behind the Fed's rate decisions during a historic AI infrastructure buildout. Tech firms cut more than 81,000 jobs in Q1 2026 alone, including thousands at Microsoft's Xbox division, sharpening the stakes for the task force's conclusions."}}
