ATLANTA-<\/strong> Delta Air Lines (DL)<\/a> is facing public scrutiny after US Senator Richard Blumenthal (D\u2013CT) accused the carrier of preparing to use artificial intelligence (AI)<\/a> to set \u201cpersonalized pricing.\u201d The remarks have raised questions about airline pricing practices and consumer privacy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The controversy began after Blumenthal posted a video alleging that Delta could use personal data, such as ZIP code, browsing history, and car ownership, to determine fares.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Delta strongly denies these claims, stating it has never used, tested, or planned such individualized pricing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Delta Faces AI Pricing Allegations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Blumenthal\u2019s statement, while couched in \u201cmay\u201d language, suggested a potential future in which fares vary not just by market demand but by individual customer profiles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He argued that such a system could harm consumers through inflated prices and increased data collection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Delta (DL) countered that it has no program past, present, or planned that uses personal data to set unique prices for individual travelers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Live and Let\u2019s Fly<\/a>, the claims stem partly from a now-deleted blog post by Fetcherr, an Israeli technology firm working with Delta, which described AI capabilities including factoring in customer lifetime value and booking context to create \u201cpersonalized offers.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
