What BBN said about it

  1. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorGloria Vance, BBN World. Seeking Alpha reports McDonald's has been hit with a lawsuit alleging its AI pricing system violates antitrust laws.

  2. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorIf it sticks, it could set a precedent for algorithmic pricing across fast food and retail.

  3. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorThe data does not give a price move for McDonald's.

  4. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentBro, an algorithm deciding what a McFlurry costs based on my mood? It has seen my search history. It knows I'm desperate.

  5. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorI have negotiated with warlords over bread prices, Kenji. At least they had the decency to show up in person.
