McDonald's is being sued in a federal class action accusing the company of using an AI-powered system to coordinate menu prices across its franchises and company-owned restaurants. The lawsuit alleges this AI system illegally fixes prices by using proprietary data to avoid undercutting sales, potentially violating antitrust laws. The case could set a precedent for how AI is regulated in business pricing strategies beyond the fast-food industry. The outcome may influence the broader debate on AI's role in boosting efficiency versus its potential misuse in market competition.
