We worry too much about "uncontrolled" AI destroying the world. Bad decisions made by humans listening to AI are already destroying the world. And that's not even mentioning the environmental consequences!

Mayor Katie B. Wilson @mayor.seattle.gov · 23/09/2026

Big win for Seattle consumers 🛒 Today we passed Fair Pricing legislation, banning companies from using your personal data to charge you more than the person next to you. Same product, same store, same price — no matter who’s pushing the cart.

Photo of a bag of groceries with the text “Seattle Becomes First City to Ban Algorithmic Price Fixing”

"Food is an essential good that's getting more expensive all the time," said Mayor Katie Wilson.
"People have been clear: they don't want their data fed into algorithms that decide how much they pay at the grocery store.
Everyone deserves transparent pricing and equal treatment, not hidden systems that charge some shoppers more than others.”

After a very long debate, this amendment was just APPROVED. The vote was 3-2, with CMs Rinck, Foster and Lin in favor and Saka and Kettle against. There are some outstanding concerns around the amendment's exact language, so I would expect additional tweaks when the bill comes to full council.
