AI Accused of Fixing Gas Prices
Description
Gas stations like Marathon and Circle K are facing a major lawsuit in California for allegedly using AI software called Kalibrate to secretly collude and keep prices sky-high—essentially turning algorithms into modern-day price-fixing conspirators. The suit claims the software coordinates gas station pricing across regions to avoid competition and maximize profits, costing drivers hundreds of millions annually. This isn’t the first time AI has been accused of inflating everyday costs, but California’s new antitrust laws may finally give drivers a legal weapon against these digital cartels.
