McDonald's turns to AI to set prices at US restaurants

Original: 🤖 McDonald's начали использовать ИИ для назначения цен в разных ресторанах сети, – Reuters Алгоритмы анализируют миллион

McDonald's has begun using artificial intelligence to set prices across its restaurants, Reuters reports. Algorithms analyse millions of purchases from thousands of US locations, competitor pricing and local willingness to pay. Reporters found differing prices at two outlets in the same city just over three kilometres apart, fuelling debate about dynamic pricing.

Why now: Reports of AI-driven dynamic pricing at McDonald's are raising concerns about customers paying different prices for the same food nearby.
