[quote=Anonymous]Not sure if this belongs here or Politics, but are people aware of this coming trend? Kroger and Walmart may use artificial intelligence and facial recognition for digital price tags. They say that it is for targeted advertising and discounts but others fear that it will be used to implement Uber-style surge pricing based on your purchase habits and other consumer data they have on you. I've seen other commentary suggesting that airlines already do this and it is no big deal. Others suggest that this is just a mechanism to determine individual price elasticity which is, conceptually, more efficient. Are there any positives to this? https://www.vice.com/en/article/surge-pricing-facial-recognition-surveillance-grocery-stores/[/quote]
