The Federal Reserve has just announced a bunch of new task forces staffed by private-sector leaders to help advise it on modern trends in the economy. Xbox CEO Asha Sharma has been named to one of those groups to help advise the U.S. Fed on “jobs and productivity,” including how the emergence of AI technology is impacting them. Her new side gig was revealed just days after she instituted roughly 3,200 layoffs that will roll out across Microsoft’s gaming division over the next 12 months.
