How to beat AI-driven custom pricing

Season 2025 Episode 224 | 4m 39s

There are new concerns around how artificial intelligence might be used to set prices for products, such as airfare. It comes after Delta Airlines announced it was using AI to help adjust prices on some of its flights. Tim McPhillips takes a look at how to approach buying tickets and how all consumers can help guard themselves against AI-driven custom pricing.
