#Maryland Is First to Ban #AI #Grocery #PriceGauging
A #state #law that goes into effect in October prohibits grocery stores & third-party delivery services from using consumer data to boost #prices.
The practice — supported by #ArtificialIntelligence & known as #DynamicPricing or #SurveillancePricing — can lead to 2 consumers paying different amounts for the same item from the same retailer, at roughly the same time.

It would be a shame if people took digital labels off the shelf then stood on them then had to ask an employee the price for everything. Just saying. We don't have to accept everthing.

AI could soon allow powerful companies to charge each customer a different price for the same product, based on what they think each individual is willing to pay. AI lets firms tailor prices to each user, raising fairness concerns as consumers may unknowingly pay more than others.

#Walmart digital #price labels are coming to every store shelf in #US by end of 2026
Nation’s largest retailer says the digital price tags help associates do their jobs better and stresses prices on items will be exactly the same for every consumer in every store.
Some legislators are wary of the technology’s potential to be used in #dynamicpricing models that disadvantage consumers, with Sens. Jeff Merkley (D-Ore.) and Ben Ray Luján (D-N.M.) introducing a bill to ban it.

#Walmart wins #patents to give algorithms more sway over #prices
Legislators in states including Maryland, Pennsylvania and Minnesota have introduced bills to ban “#dynamicpricing”, or prices rapidly fluctuate in response to supply and demand signals, for groceries and consumer goods
Walmart said that both patents were “unrelated to dynamic pricing”, was specific to markdowns and last week’s patent was designed for merchant teams to make decisions

Local fans outraged at 2026 World Cup’s ‘inconceivable’ and ‘extortionate’ ticket prices ⚽ 🏟️ 💰
“This is a monumental betrayal of the tradition of the World Cup, ignoring the contribution of supporters to the spectacle it is.”
"What FIFA is doing now, in my opinion, is price gouging, which is illegal in the US."

"According to private and federal lawsuits, the country’s biggest meat processors have been using a secretive data company to share sensitive information, enabling them to hike up prices and suppress wages for decades.
The revelation comes as meat prices have increased precipitously. Since 1985, the price of ground beef has increased by over 400 percent, far outpacing inflation. Meanwhile, meat-industry workers’ wages have largely stagnated.
Despite growing scrutiny and public outcry over algorithmic price setting of consumer goods and services, critics say meatpackers are settling these collusion lawsuits without admitting guilt or paying substantial penalties, meaning they’re free to keep using the data analytics firm to fix prices and drive down workers’ earnings.
“[The meatpackers] win with their settlements, and never once do the packers have to admit guilt,” independent rancher Mike Callicrate told The Lever. “What’s happened is these law firms now have just gone around filing cases, knowing that they can take money out of the packer’s pocket, while the packer retains the ability to take it right out of the producer’s pocket and the consumer’s pocket.”
And while President Donald Trump has promised to crack down on price fixing in agriculture, he’s financially benefited from some of the companies he’s criticized."

"On a Thursday in early September, more than 40 strangers logged in to Instacart, the grocery-shopping app, to buy eggs and test a hypothesis.
Connected by videoconference, they simultaneously selected the same store — a Safeway in Washington, D.C. — and the same brand of eggs. They all chose pickup rather than delivery.
The only difference was the price they were offered: $3.99 for a couple of lucky shoppers. $4.59 or $4.69 for others. And a few saw a price of $4.79 — 20 percent more than some others, for the exact same product.
The shoppers were volunteers, participating in a study published on Tuesday and organized by the Groundwork Collaborative, a progressive policy group, and Consumer Reports, a nonprofit consumer publication. In tests in four cities across the country, nearly 200 volunteers checked prices on 20 grocery items on Instacart.
On item after item, they found significant differences. In a Target in North Canton, Ohio, some shoppers were charged $3.59 for a jar of Skippy peanut butter that others could get for $2.99. At a Safeway in Seattle, some people paid $3.99 for a box of Wheat Thins while others paid $4.89. And at a Target in St. Paul, Minn., some people were charged $4.59 for a box of Cheerios that others could get for $3.99.
“Two shoppers who are buying the exact same item from the exact same store at the exact same time are getting different prices,” said Lindsay Owens, executive director of the Groundwork Collaborative. “The data really backs up how extraordinarily pervasive this is.”
(...)
Groundwork’s findings are the latest example of how the notion of a single price, offered to all customers for a predictable period, is breaking down in the digital age. Companies are using sophisticated algorithms to adjust prices quickly in response to competitors’ offers and consumer behavior."https://www.nytimes.com/2025/12/09/business/instacart-algorithmic-pricing.html

"School districts and local governments across the country appear to be overpaying for basic supplies because of Amazon contracts that bind them to dynamic pricing, according to a new report based on government data and public records analyzed by the non-profit Institute for Local Self-Reliance.
A school district in Denver, Colorado, would have saved about $1m in 2023 had it been able to negotiate for and lock in the lowest of the platform’s continuously changing prices, according to one estimate cited in the report. Denver public schools, which spent $5.7m with Amazon that year, “could have saved 17 percent” had it “consistently received Amazon’s lowest prices”, the report said.
On 15 August 2023, for example, Denver’s school district placed two separate orders for two bulk cases of dry-erase markers, researchers found. The district paid $114.52 for one, and $149.07 for another.
Under dynamic pricing, companies like Amazon use algorithms to continuously readjust prices based on real-time data. Supporters say these tools help companies adjust to changes in supply and demand, but regulators have warned of their potential to set high prices.
Researchers were able to obtain detailed data on roughly 55,000 purchases of repeatedly-ordered Amazon items from 23 public entities, including Denver’s school district. The items included Elmer’s glue, Amazon-brand copy paper, Lysol cleaning wipes and Crayola crayons. On average, the report found, the localities could have saved 17% had they “consistently received the lowest prices Amazon charged” for those items."

Shopping has always been a game. Increasingly, it’s being rigged against you.
Many companies now use algorithms to set prices and adjust them throughout the day. This new technology is called dynamic pricing, and businesses use it to jack up prices.

What I dislike terribly about ridesharing is the dynamic pricing system.

Are you a regular flier on Delta Airlines?
Caveat Emptor!Beware! Make no mistake. This is Surveillance Pricing! Also known as predatory pricing or gouge pricing. https://gizmodo.com/delta-wants-20-of-flights-to-have-ai-powered-dynamic-pricing-by-the-end-of-2025-2000630389
As sated by the CEO: Delta was “optimizing revenue through [its] partnership with Fetcherr,” and “leveraging AI-enhanced pricing solutions.”
In Surveillance Pricing, retailers are algorithmically tweaking and targeting prices based on a variety of inputs—including consumer-related data and their behaviors and preferences (without consent), the location, time, and channels by which a consumer buys the product.

The "dynamic pricing" row around tickets for Oasis's 2025 tour is rumbling on. Prices for the comeback gigs increased by more than £200 (U.S. $262.92) as demand soared. The re-formed band claimed they did not know dynamic pricing would be used and that they left decisions up to promoters and management, while Ticketmaster says they were also not responsible for the pricing policy. Here's more from the BBC.
