In Short:
– 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 Air Lines faces scrutiny from US lawmakers over its plans to use artificial intelligence for setting ticket prices. According to Reuters, Senators Ruben Gallego, Mark Warner, and Richard Blumenthal have voiced concerns about the potential impact on travellers’ costs and data privacy. They argue that this strategy could lead to fare increases tailored to individual consumers’ willingness to pay, amid rising expenses for American families.Banner

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.

Man in 20s dies after breaching Mar-a-Lago, armed; Secret Service opened fire, citing no immediate danger inside.

A man in his early 20s has been shot and killed after breaching the secure perimeter at President Trump’s Mar a Lago residence in Florida, according to the Secret Service. Officials say the president and first lady Melania Trump were in Washington DC at the time of the incident.

Authorities report the man was armed with a shotgun and a petrol canister when he approached the north gate. He was confronted by a sheriff’s deputy and two Secret Service agents who ordered him to drop the items before the situation rapidly escalated.

After putting down the petrol can, the man allegedly pointed the shotgun at officers, who then opened fire. Law enforcement says there was no immediate danger to anyone inside the property.

The London Metropolitan Police is now identifying former officers who may assist in the ongoing investigation and has encouraged them to share any pertinent information.
