AI and Big Data in Inflation Analytics Training Course

Introduction

The AI and Big Data in Inflation Analytics Training Course explores how advanced data-driven technologies are revolutionizing the understanding, forecasting, and management of inflation dynamics. Traditional economic models are increasingly being complemented—or even replaced—by artificial intelligence and machine learning tools capable of analyzing vast amounts of real-time data. From consumer behavior to supply chain disruptions, AI and big data provide deeper insights into the underlying forces shaping inflationary pressures across different sectors and economies.

This training equips participants with practical skills in applying AI techniques, big data platforms, and predictive analytics for inflation measurement, policy formulation, and risk assessment. Participants will learn how to use machine learning algorithms, natural language processing, and alternative data sources to enhance the accuracy of inflation forecasts and strengthen policy responses. By integrating economics with technology, the program prepares professionals to tackle the complex and evolving challenges of inflation in the digital era.
