McDonald's is reportedly deploying artificial intelligence to dynamically adjust the prices of its burgers, according to a widely shared report. Dynamic pricing means menu costs could fluctuate based on demand, time of day, or other factors, similar to surge pricing models used by airlines and ride-sharing apps. Commenters are debating whether this could lead to higher prices for customers during busy periods and what it signals about automation creeping into fast food.
Why now: Consumers are alarmed that everyday fast food prices could now fluctuate in real time based on AI-driven demand.
