Predictive pricing, a practice involving the use of artificial intelligence to set prices for customers based on factors like the websites they visit or the places they live instead of supply and demand, has emerged as one of the top technology-related issues in California’s Legislature this session.
Lawmakers in the state have introduced five bills addressing the issue in recent weeks. One of the bills (AB 325), would make it easier for the state’s attorney general to sue companies that use price algorithms trained on “nonpublic competitor data.” Another (SB 259) would ban the use of “affinity-based algorithmic pricing” that sets prices based on “perceived characteristics from personal data.” A third (SB 52) would ban the use of algorithmic devices to set prices or occupancy rates for rental properties.
