This city just banned grocery stores from using your personal data and AI to set prices — and it's a first in the nation

In a first for the nation, a city has enacted a law banning grocery stores from using AI and personal data to set food prices. Supported by city leaders, consumer organizations, and labor groups, the legislation specifically prohibits the use of social media data, gender, and race to determine what shoppers pay. This new regulation ensures that pricing remains consistent and prevents the use of individual personal profiles to manipulate the cost of essential grocery items.
