- A study found that Anthropic's Claude and OpenAI's ChatGPT returned different shopping prices to users based on wealth, per Bloomberg reporting.
- Claude and ChatGPT were both tested for price discrimination in shopping contexts, with the study concluding that the two AI assistants charged varying prices tied to user wealth.
Why it matters: If AI shopping assistants systematically adjust prices by user wealth signals, consumers relying on chatbots for purchasing decisions could face hidden price discrimination, making the bots a new vector for wealth-based pricing in retail.
