Delta’s AI ticket pricing plans face criticism from US lawmakers over potential fare increases and data privacy concerns
– US lawmakers are concerned about Delta’s AI plans for ticket pricing affecting costs and privacy.
– Delta maintains its pricing strategy treats all customers equally and does not rely on personal data.
Delta’s CEO Ed Bastian was pressed to explain these practices in a letter from the senators. Previous comments suggested the airline aims to implement AI-driven revenue management across 20% of its domestic network by the end of 2025, collaborating with Fetcherr. The senators highlighted that this technology could adjust fares based on predictive analytics of customers’ spending habits.
Delta has responded, asserting that no current or planned product targets individual consumers based on personal information. They clarified that their approach to dynamic pricing has been in use for over three decades, and maintains that all customers receive the same fares across all platforms.
Senators’ Concerns
Investigations into whether airlines are manipulating prices based on customer data continue, with similar inquiries directed at Frontier and Spirit Airlines regarding their fee structures.

AI stocks surge amid market shifts and spending warnings
AI sector drives economic growth; Meta adjusts strategy, Palantir’s valuation sparks questions, and Nvidia leads amid rising competition.
AI sector drives economic growth; Meta adjusts strategy, Palantir’s valuation sparks questions, and Nvidia leads amid rising competition.
The artificial intelligence sector continues to be a major driver of growth for both the U.S. and global economies. Companies at the forefront of AI innovation are influencing market trends and reshaping industries worldwide.
Meta’s stock has rebounded slightly following reports of potential cost-cutting measures and job reductions in its Reality Labs division. Investors are watching closely as the company adjusts its strategy to manage rising expenses and optimize innovation.
Palantir is trading at over 120 times forward sales and 180 times forward earnings, signaling investor confidence but also raising questions about valuation risks. Meanwhile, Nvidia maintains a market cap of $4.2 trillion as a leading AI chip supplier, yet competition is ramping up.
These moves highlight the growing tension between tech giants’ AI ambitions and the practical need to balance profits with heavy R&D spending.
Some analysts, however, warn that rapid growth may not be sustainable, with current levels of AI-related spending potentially overshooting realistic returns.

Analysts forecast $500 billion AI investment by 2026, transforming corporate spending priorities and enhancing economic productivity.
Analysts predict that artificial intelligence companies could invest over $500 billion in 2026, signaling a major shift in corporate spending priorities. This surge in capital allocation comes as businesses look to harness AI to drive growth and efficiency across multiple sectors.
Following strong third-quarter earnings, overall capital spending estimates for 2026 have been revised upward. However, investors are becoming more selective, focusing on companies that can clearly demonstrate revenue benefits from their AI investments, separating hype from tangible results.
AI adoption is expected to boost economic productivity, with significant investment already flowing into AI infrastructure such as semiconductors and data centres. The coming year could redefine how companies leverage technology to gain a competitive edge.
