AI and the future of shopping: are we ready for what’s coming?
Published 12 Aug, 2026 05:32On this episode of America First, Scottie Nell Hughes looks at the new trend of surveillance shopping. AI can now predict when and where we plan to spend our hard-earned bucks. Stores can take that information and change prices on an hourly basis to maximize profit. But is this an unfair strategy, one that is harmful to the consumer? And is it even legal? Or is this a future inevitability that we all have to accept? Joining Scottie for this conversation are Dr. Tamara Patzer, author and creator at the Daily Success Media Network, and Michael Wynne, an attorney who focuses on US federal criminal investigations and trials.
