McDonald's Is Using AI to Dynamically Price Its Burgers

McDonald's is rolling out AI-driven dynamic pricing, meaning the cost of items like a Big Mac could change based on demand, time, or location. The company frames it as smarter, data-led pricing, but the move has sparked debate over whether customers could end up paying more at peak times. Critics see it as a step toward algorithmic price gouging in everyday fast food.

Why now: People are uneasy about algorithmic dynamic pricing spreading to everyday purchases like fast food.
