Artificial intelligence (AI) is enabling retailers to set prices based on individual customer data, rather than fixed prices that apply to everyone. This means shoppers could see different prices for the same product depending on their personal information, replacing the traditional price tag system.
Key Facts
Fixed prices for goods have been standard since the 1860s when retailers started using posted price tags.
AI can analyze large amounts of consumer data to set personalized prices based on how much a person might pay.
Personalized pricing builds on dynamic pricing, which adjusts costs based on factors like demand and time but adds customization by individual shopper profiles.
Retailers tested this on Instacart, showing some customers prices up to 23% higher for the same grocery items.
This price difference could mean a family of four might pay about $1,200 more per year.
Instacart denies using sensitive personal data like race or gender and called the reported price gaps "atypical."
Instacart stopped using AI for personalized pricing on its platform in December 2024.
Experts warn that AI-based pricing could remove predictability in shopping, making it harder to budget.
