AI in Central Banking for Beginners

Event Overview

Central banks play a big role in everyday life, even if we do not always notice it. They help manage inflation, support stable prices, and influence borrowing costs through interest rates. Today, many central banks are also exploring how artificial intelligence, or AI, can help them understand the economy better and make more informed monetary policy decisions. In this beginner-friendly Edu AI webinar, we will explain this important topic in a clear and simple way, with no technical language and no prior knowledge required.

If you have ever heard terms like inflation, interest rates, forecasts, or economic data and felt unsure what they mean, this session is for you. We will start from the basics and explain what a central bank does, what monetary policy means, and why good decisions depend on understanding huge amounts of information. We will then show how AI can help by spotting patterns in data, summarising reports, and supporting economic forecasting. We will also discuss why AI does not replace human decision-makers, but instead can act as a helpful tool.

By the end of this webinar, you will understand the main ideas behind how AI is being used in central banking, even if you are completely new to both economics and AI. You will learn what kinds of data central banks look at, how AI can help analyse trends in inflation and growth, and what risks and limits must be considered. We will also cover why trust, fairness, and human oversight matter when AI is used in public institutions.
