McDonald's uses AI to gauge what customers will pay
Original: McDonalds has AI estimate "customer willingness to pay" at each restaurant
McDonald's is deploying artificial intelligence to estimate customer willingness to pay at individual restaurants, according to Reuters reporting on the company's pricing strategy. The move means Big Mac and other menu prices could increasingly vary by location as algorithms factor in local demand. Critics see it as dynamic pricing edging into everyday fast food, raising questions about fairness and transparency for consumers.
Why now: People are reacting to the idea of a major fast-food chain using AI to charge customers based on how much they are willing to pay.
