Harvard Business School launches AI-driven global CPI database
The IEM Lab at Harvard Business School launched Living CPI Data, where AI agents collect, expand and quality-check official consumer price data daily, including sector indices, basket weights and average prices.
Today we launched "Living CPI Data" project, from the IEM Lab at Harvard Business School. http://www.iemlab.org/livingdata It is an AI-driven global database of consumer price indices. AI agents continuously collect, expand and quality-check the data every day, so it never stops growing. It also has real depth. Getting detailed CPI data usually means digging through statistical-office websites, tables and PDFs. The agents have already done that. You get official classifications, disaggregated sectoral indices, basket weights and even average prices of individual goods, when available.
