Kroger insists that “any test of electronic shelf tags is to lower prices more for customers where it matters most. To suggest otherwise is not true.” For some reason, nobody trusts them.

Then I’m sure they’ll be completely transparent about the criteria used for making the price changes and how the algorithm works, right? Because they’re trustworthy, right?

You can absolutely depend on a publicly traded corporation that’s legally obligated to make decisions in the monetary interest of its shareholders—to behave in an altruistic fashion for the benefit of mankind.

If it is true, they just admitted to security fraud for not maximizing profits. I doubt it is true but would be interesting to see it in court if they decide to admit to lying in a public press release or security fraud not acting in the interest of shareholders…

No it’s okay they’re using an AI model, so inevitably they can point to the huge jumble of math and say “computer did it” when asked to defend the gouging. That’s basically transparency, right?
