Dynamic Pricing
A pricing mechanism in which algorithms calculate prices for goods or services in real time based on supply and demand, inventory levels, time, geographic location, and user profiles. It is widely applied in e-commerce, ride-hailing, ticketing, and related industries.

AI models can integrate signals such as historical sales data, social media buzz and competitors' schedules to predict demand curves and automatically adjust prices, thereby maximizing revenue while optimizing attendance.
Professional sports leagues apply AI across every part of the fan journey, including personalized ticket recommendations, dynamic pricing, real-time data visualization and augmented-reality viewing experiences.
Algorithms serve as a buffer layer for moral responsibility, repackaging the ethical problem of price gouging as a technical problem through a process of depersonalization.
The vast majority of dynamic pricing systems are black boxes, leaving consumers unable to know why they are being charged a particular price or to determine whether they are being treated differently.
Dynamic pricing has been operating in industries such as airlines and hotels for many years and carries efficiency significance.
The core dilemma in regulatory enforcement is the burden of proof, because algorithms themselves are trade secrets and different users seeing different prices can always technically be given a non-discriminatory explanation.
The core of dynamic pricing is that prices are no longer determined by cost plus a fixed margin, but are instead dynamically calculated by algorithms based on real-time supply and demand, inventory, time, geographic location, and user profiles.
Dynamic pricing (such as ride-hailing surge pricing and airline time-based fluctuations) is primarily based on supply and demand, whereas surveillance pricing bases its pricing on individual user characteristics.
