Dynamic Pricing, Explained: AI business model | Uber Surge pricing

Listen Later

If you buy a pint at 3pm on a Tuesday you’ll pay £3 and are probably an alcoholic. Fast forward to 8pm on a Saturday and that same pint in that same pub will cost you £8.

Although I don’t drink alcohol so this doesn’t affect me. But that’s not the point. We don’t just ignore things that don’t affect us. This is known as dynamic pricing or price surging.

On paper, it’s like taking a shit in the woods in the middle of winter - a pain in the ass although ultimately harmless. But in reality, every company and their dog are trying to incorporate it into their business model.

And during a cost of living crisis where households are trying to budget this is causing more headaches than speed eating an ice creme. Let’s look at how it works, when it is appropriate to use and when it really fucking isn’t.
