AI Pricing Fairness & Privacy Expert for Cybernews Feature

As companies like Delta Air Lines expand AI-driven pricing, experts are sounding the alarm about a growing trend: personalized prices that change based on your income, browsing history, or even location. It’s a strategy designed to maximize profits, but it’s also raising concerns about fairness, privacy, and digital discrimination. I have a few questions for a story I'm working on for Cybernews: Are concerns about fairness, privacy, and digital discrimination valid? Denials are flying about but might it be true that personalized prices change based on your income, browsing history, or even location -- information that AI-powered systems somehow get access to? How could AI pricing be improved to be fairer? Or is it inherently unfair? Or maybe, it's a business decision anyway and the customer can choose to purchase somewhere else? With the current business-friendly administration in place, it's probably not to be expected for the regulators to step in, isn't it? No AI-generated answers, please! Thank you.
