Gas giants increase prices via AI lawsuit

A federal lawsuit in California accuses major gas chains, including Walmart and 7-Eleven, along with Kalibrate, of using AI-powered software to collude and artificially inflate pump prices.

The case highlights growing concerns over how companies exploit technology like AI to manipulate prices amid rising consumer costs.
