And then, per the article, the company that
Delta is using for its new generative AI pricing system boasts (on its website) that its product “empowers airlines to… personalize offers,” among other things.

Seems it would challenging to do that without analyzing at least some individual customer data.

Re: Delta’s new AI pricing —

#Delta insists that it is not using personal data & only analyzing “market forces” to set prices.

…so, if that’s the case, why does it need a new generative AI system (why not just use its regular algorithms… I mean, it doesn’t seem to be doing anything new).

Also, why has it been testing this supposedly non-personal #AI pricing method on certain customers?*
