McDonald's is facing a federal lawsuit over an AI powered tool that recommends menu prices to its US franchisees.
The lawsuit claims the system uses private information from different McDonald's locations, including store sales and competitor sales, to make pricing recommendations.
The lawsuit argues that sharing this information between franchisees that may compete with each other could violate antitrust laws and contribute to higher prices.
McDonald's denies the allegations and says AI does not actually set its menu prices.
The company says franchisees ultimately decide what customers pay at their individual restaurants.
This is important because franchisees operate about 95% of McDonald's roughly 14,000 US locations, and they don't always follow the company's recommendations.
