McDonald’s Sued Over AI- Powered Menu Price Fixing | Everything You Need To Know | Watch
Fast-food giant McDonald’s has been sued in federal court in Chicago in a proposed nationwide class action. The lawsuit alleges the company illegally coordinated menu prices across its nearly 14,000 U.S. locations through an AI-powered pricing system. The suit claims the AI tool systematically fixed and inflated prices, even though independent franchisees are supposed to compete freely. Several franchisees have said McDonald’s pressured them to follow the system’s recommendations. The tool considers local demand and competitors’ prices, including Wendy’s and Burger King.
