McDonald's reportedly explores AI pricing based on an area's spending power
What happened
On October 2, a neowin.net report reached the front page of Hacker News saying McDonald's is exploring the use of AI to judge the spending power of the people in a customer's area and set dynamic prices for items such as the Big Mac accordingly. Under that report, prices could be higher where nearby people are judged to have more spending power. The available information covers only this direction of exploration, with no timing, coverage or size of price changes.
