Feb 17 (Reuters) - ‌San ​Francisco ​Federal Reserve President Mary Daly on Tuesday ‌said the U.S. central ⁠bank still needs to get ‌inflation down, and ‌that while artificial intelligence potentially helps in that regard, ​the Fed's modestly or slightly restrictive policy ⁠is also important to making that ​happen.

"We need to get inflation down and we ​need to make ‌sure that it's on a good path," ⁠Daly said at an event at San Jose ⁠State University, adding that the Fed ​also needs to make sure that labor market vulnerabilities -- like ‌the narrow range of industries that account ‌for most of current ⁠US job ‌creation don't ​turn into labor market fragilities.
