McDonald's may use AI to set personalized Big Mac prices

Original: Your Big Mac might cost more if McDonald's AI thinks people nearby can afford it

McDonald's is reportedly exploring AI-driven pricing that could charge more for a Big Mac depending on what the system infers about the purchasing power of people nearby. The idea of algorithmic or personalized pricing at fast-food chains is drawing criticism from customers who see it as unfair price discrimination based on where they live or shop.
