1892: Kill Switch

Surveillance Pricing and AI in Retail

A Senate Judiciary Subcommittee is investigating "surveillance pricing," where AI determines different prices for different customers based on their data and IP addresses. The hosts discuss how electronic shelf tags and facial recognition could allow retailers to change prices in real-time as a customer walks down an aisle. They joke about needing "jamming devices" or "third eyes" to confuse facial recognition cameras.
