Bank of Japan Deputy Governor Shinichi Uchida told the central bank’s website that worldwide AI adoption has acted as a positive demand shock, lifting both the economy and prices. He said the surge in AI activity has increased demand for financing and pushed up asset prices, which together have made overall financial conditions more accommodative. Uchida added that the easing could reverse if AI‑related earnings fall short of expectations. He warned that a correction is possible when the profit outlook does not match the current demand surge. He also noted that large bond issuances by AI‑focused firms are adding upward pressure on long‑term yields. The BOJ has identified robust AI‑related demand as one of the drivers that could push underlying inflation above its 2% target, which may lead to additional monetary tightening. The bank raised interest rates in June and September, citing an energy shock caused by the Iran war and the impact of a weak yen on import costs. Japan imports almost all of its crude oil, most of which previously came from the Middle East before the Strait of Hormuz closure. > It is a big positive demand shock, which has put upward pressure on the economy and prices. > > — Shinichi Uchida, BOJ Deputy Governor ## What was omitted No left‑ or centre‑rated outlets ran this story, leaving their audiences without coverage of Uchida’s AI commentary, the BOJ’s inflation outlook, or the recent energy‑related rate hikes. ## FAQ What did Deputy Governor Uchida say about the AI boom?

He warned of a potential market correction if anticipated profits do not materialise. - Uchida noted that AI could also boost productivity and capital accumulation, potentially influencing a country's natural rate of interest. He stated that the demand side appeared to have come first, making financial conditions more accommodating. - While AI has driven up stock prices and eased financial conditions, Uchida pointed out that significant bond issuance by AI firms has increased long-term interest rates. The Bank of Japan will continue to monitor data to understand AI's full impact. ### Right - CNBC‑TV18, a right‑rated outlet, led on the AI‑driven easing of financial conditions and the attendant market‑risk warning. The report reproduced Uchida’s description of AI as a "big positive demand shock" and highlighted his caution that a pullback could follow if AI profits fail to materialise. It also detailed the BOJ’s view that AI demand may lift inflation above 2% and cited the June and September rate hikes that were tied to an energy shock from the Iran war and a weak yen. The article quoted Uchida directly and used the phrase "risk of correction" to describe the potential market downturn. **Provisional coverage gap:** left.
