McDonald's has begun testing AI-powered dynamic pricing at various locations, using algorithmic analysis to adjust menu prices based on time of day, weather, and demand. The system monitors local traffic patterns to influence costs for items like the Big Mac, aiming to maximize revenue through real-time fluctuations that mimic surge-pricing models seen in ridesharing apps.
