Algorithmic Collusion

Fact

Algorithms can make companies copy each other’s prices without any secret deal.

In Plain Words

It is like two lemonade stands watching price signs all day. Soon both charge more, and your five bucks buys mostly ice.

Pricing algorithms can learn to match rivals. This weakens competition, so regulators watch it.
