Incident 17293 Report
McDonald's Allegedly Used an AI Pricing Engine to Coordinate U.S. Menu Prices and Make Customers Overpay

2026-10-02

A U.S. consumer lawsuit alleged that fast-food chain McDonald's used an AI pricing engine trained on pooled confidential restaurant sales data to coordinate menu prices and make customers overpay.
