McDonald's uses AI to estimate customer willingness to pay
Original: McDonalds has AI estimate "customer willingness to pay" at each restaurant
Reuters reports that McDonald's is using artificial intelligence to estimate customer willingness to pay at individual restaurants, part of a broader push toward dynamic, data-driven pricing of items like the Big Mac. The story has drawn attention and debate, with many critical of algorithmic pricing that could see loyal customers charged more at locations they frequent.
Why now: Consumers are reacting to the prospect of AI-driven surge-style pricing at fast-food chains.
