Banning the use of AI-driven dynamic pricing by massive corporations to target consumers with higher prices based on zip code, demand, and estimated income.
Ban AI-driven dynamic pricing used by massive corporations to target consumers by zip code, demand, or income.
Occurrences
Evidence
Congress.gov states that enacted bills and joint resolutions appear on this list after public-law numbers are assigned. The 119th Congress list contains no public law titled or described as an AI, dynamic-pricing, personalized-pricing, or surveillance-pricing ban.
The FTC reported initial findings that precise location, browser history, demographics, shopping patterns, and other data can be used to target consumers with different prices. The FTC said its 6(b) study was still ongoing.
The FTC issued information orders to companies offering surveillance-pricing products using personal data and AI-related technologies to set individualized prices. The agency characterized this as an inquiry to understand the market and consumer impacts.
McClain Delaney’s official House legislation page directs constituents to her sponsored and cosponsored Congress.gov records and lists recent votes. The page does not identify a vote or sponsored measure banning AI-driven dynamic pricing.
Her first-year recap says she introduced 16 bills and cosponsored about 300 bills and resolutions, describing work on health care, food security, veterans, farmers, federal workers, democracy, and administration accountability. It does not list AI-driven pricing or surveillance-pricing legislation as a win or effort.
Assessments
No federal ban on AI-driven dynamic, personalized, or surveillance pricing has been enacted during April McClain Delaney's current House term, and the evidence does not show that she introduced, sponsored, materially advanced, or voted on a successful measure delivering the promised ban. Related FTC activity was investigative rather than prohibitory, and her own legislative summaries do not identify concrete action on this promise.
