Lawmakers are calling for a ban on Delta Air Lines' use of AI to manipulate prices and potentially suppress wages. Concerns have been raised that the airline's AI systems are designed to exploit market dynamics, leading to inflated costs for consumers and reduced compensation for employees. Critics argue that such practices are unethical and anti-competitive, warranting legislative intervention to protect both consumers and workers from algorithmic exploitation. The proposed ban aims to ensure fair market practices and prevent companies from using AI to unfairly influence economic outcomes.
