McDonald's has been hit with a nationwide class action lawsuit alleging the fast-food giant used artificial intelligence and nonpublic data to coordinate menu prices across its nearly 14,000 U.S. restaurants. The lawsuit, filed as a class action, claims that McDonald's employed AI technology and proprietary data to systematically set and adjust prices, potentially violating antitrust laws. The case targets the company's pricing practices across its entire U.S. footprint, raising significant legal and regulatory questions about the use of AI in pricing strategies. The development marks a major legal challenge for McDonald's, as it faces scrutiny over how it leverages technology and data to manage its vast restaurant network.
