AI sets prices at McDonald's: same burger costs 21% more elsewhere

McDonald's uses artificial intelligence algorithms to dynamically set prices at U.S. restaurants — the AI analyzes customer willingness to pay and suggests rates for specific locations. Price differences for the same product reach 21% between outlets kilometers apart. Franchisees report strong pressure from headquarters, and the strategy raises legal concerns about price-fixing; nonetheless restaurant traffic continues to decline.
