Not illegal yet. Read the paper, stores have already been trying versions of it and it's being used in some industries already. Airlines have been playing with it for ages, which is how you can get very different prices online depending on things like which browser you are using. (https://millionmilesecrets.com/guides/are-airlines-raising-your-ticket-price-based-on-browser-history/ https://millionmilesecrets.com/guides/are-airlines-raising-y...). It's not transparent to the consumer when it's happening so you may never realize you're being ripped off.
- teeray 4y agoIt’s not illegal until a protected class is charged a higher price and has grounds for a lawsuit, and the grocery stores cannot prove their AI isn’t racist.
- autoexec 4y agoIt's not easy for someone to know what other people are being charged and it'd be easy to make it pretty much impossible for anyone to say exactly why. I'm guessing it'd fall on the person who was overcharged to prove that it had anything to do with their race, and even then the company will hide behind the AI to avoid all responsibility. There are already many examples of AI found or suspected to be biased, but has anyone at any company been jailed or even meaningfully punished for using an AI that was found to be biased? It seems like the most you can expect is "We'll stop using that AI" after which they'll just fire up another one.
