The appointment places Sharma at the helm of a panel tasked with evaluating how artificial intelligence and emerging technologies influence the broader US economy. Her mandate involves shaping future interest rate and monetary policies, a responsibility that sits in stark contrast to the recent restructuring plan she unveiled for the gaming giant. That overhaul aims to eliminate thousands of roles by the 2027 fiscal year, a move that internal developers fear will compromise the long-term integrity of the company’s core franchises.
Sharma will co-chair the Productivity and Jobs group alongside Stanford economist Charles I. Jones, who is currently working with AI safety firm Anthropic, and venture capitalist Marc Andreessen. This initiative is one of five newly established panels under Chairman Warsh, who argues that the modernization of the Federal Reserve’s analytical tools is essential to meeting its dual mandate of price stability and maximum employment. While the Fed seeks to leverage external expertise to refine its policy approaches, the inclusion of an executive currently overseeing a massive workforce reduction has drawn significant scrutiny from labor observers.
