Delta Air Lines assures U.S. lawmakers it will not personalize fares using AI
WASHINGTON - Delta Air Lines said on Friday it will not use artificial intelligence to set personalized ticket prices for passengers after facing sharp criticism from U.S. lawmakers and broad public concern. Last week, Democratic Senators Ruben Gallego, Mark Warner and Richard Blumenthal said they believed the Atlanta-based airline would use AI to set individual prices, which would 'likely mean fare price increases up to each individual consumer's personal 'pain point.'' Delta said it has not used AI to set personalized prices but previously said it plans to deploy AI-based revenue management technology across 20% of its domestic network by the end of 2025 in partnership with Fetcherr, an AI pricing company. 'There is no fare product Delta has ever used, is testing or plans to use that targets customers with individualized prices based on personal data,' Delta told the senators in a letter on Friday, seen by Reuters. 'Our ticket pricing never takes into account personal data.' Senators praised Delta's commitment not to use AI for personal pricing but expressed many questions and want more details about what data Delta is collecting to set prices. 'Delta is telling their investors one thing, and then turning around and telling the public another,' Gallego said. 'If Delta is in fact using aggregated instead of individualized data, that is welcome news.' Delta declined comment on Gallego's statement. The senators cited a comment in December by Delta President Glen Hauenstein that the carrier's AI price-setting technology is capable of setting fares based on a prediction of 'the amount people are willing to pay for the premium products related to the base fares.' Last week, American Airlines CEO Robert Isom said using AI to set ticket prices could hurt consumer trust. 'This is not about bait and switch. This is not about tricking,' Isom said on an earnings call, adding 'talk about using AI in that way, I don't think it's appropriate. And certainly from American, it's not something we will do.' Democratic lawmakers Greg Casar and Rashida Tlaib last week introduced legislation to bar companies from using AI to set prices or wages based on Americans' personal data and would specifically ban airlines raising individual prices after seeing a search for a family obituary. They cited a Federal Trade Commission staff report in January that found 'retailers frequently use people's personal information to set targeted, tailored prices for goods and services -- from a person's location and demographics, down to their mouse movements on a webpage.' The FTC cited a hypothetical example of a consumer profiled as a new parent who could intentionally be shown higher-priced baby thermometers and collect behavioral details to forecast a customer's state of mind. Delta said airlines have used dynamic pricing for more than three decades, in which pricing fluctuates based on a variety of factors like overall customer demand, fuel prices and competition, but not a specific consumer's personal information. 'Given the tens of millions of fares and hundreds of thousands of routes for sale at any given time, the use of new technology like AI promises to streamline the process by which we analyze existing data and the speed and scale at which we can respond to changing market dynamics,' Delta's letter said.

Tim Cook reportedly tells employees Apple ‘must' win in AI
Apple CEO Tim Cook held an hourlong all-hands meeting in which he told employees that the company needs to win in AI, according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman. The meeting came after an earnings call in which Cook told investors and analysts that Apple would 'significantly' increase its AI investments. It seems he had a similar message for Apple employees, reportedly telling them, 'Apple must do this. Apple will do this. This is sort of ours to grab.' Despite launching a variety of AI-powered features in the past year under the Apple Intelligence umbrella, the company's promised upgrades to its voice assistant Siri have been significantly delayed. And Cook seemed to acknowledge that the company has fallen behind its competitors. 'We've rarely been first,' he reportedly said. 'There was a PC before the Mac; there was a smartphone before the iPhone; there were many tablets before the iPad; there was an MP3 player before iPod.' But in his telling, that didn't stop Apple from inventing the 'modern' versions of those products.

10 States That Will Benefit Most From SALT Deduction Cap Increase
President Donald Trump's Big Beautiful Bill that passed in Congress in July 2025 included a provision to raise the state and local tax (SALT) deduction cap to $40,000 from the previous $10,000. 'An additional $30,000 in deductions could amount to about $10,500 in annual tax savings for such homeowners, assuming a 35% federal marginal tax rate,' senior economist Jake Kimmel said in an email. broke down the 10 states and 10 metropolitan areas with the highest percentage of properties with taxes over $10,000, that stand to really benefit from the SALT cap increase. Find Out: Read Next: Top 10 States With Highest Share of Properties Taxed Over $10,000 NJ 39.9% NY 25.9% CT 19.4% CA 19.3% MA 18.4% NH 16.3% DC 15.6% IL 13.7% TX 12.4% RI 9.3% Learn More: Top 10 Metros With Highest Share of Properties Taxed Over $10,000 San Jose-Sunnyvale-Santa Clara, CA 47.9% New York-Newark-Jersey City, NY-NJ 47.8% San Francisco-Oakland-Fremont, CA 40.9% Bridgeport-Stamford-Danbury, CT 39.3% Kiryas Joel-Poughkeepsie-Newburgh, NY 37.5% Trenton-Princeton, NJ 35.8% Nantucket, MA 35.5% Austin-Round Rock-San Marcos, TX 32.0% Jackson, WY-ID 28.7% Santa Cruz-Watsonville, CA 28.1% Presumably, these areas will benefit the most from the SALT deduction cap increase. 'The winners of this deduction will most definitely be the middle- to upper-middle-class earners of high-tax states,' said Tasha Preisner, managing partner at DeMar Consulting Group. But, even if you fall into this category, there are important considerations before you jump to begin itemizing deductions again. The Return of Itemizations for Some Taxpayers The Big Beautiful Bill also brings about an increase in the standard deduction up to $15,750 for single taxpayers and $31,500 for joint filers. This is still less than the SALT cap, which means it might make sense for some taxpayers to itemize in 2025. 'Many homeowners stopped itemizing their taxes after the 2017 TCJA [was introduced] … and the standard deduction was expanded, giving little incentive for itemization,' Preisner said. 'These homeowners will likely start itemizing again.' But itemizing requires careful tax prep, saving receipts and potentially seeking the help of experts. 'More taxpayers will be turning to professionals to help them with their tax planning and tax preparation rather than doing it themselves,' Preisner predicted. Tax Planning To Maximize Deductions The SALT cap deduction increase phases out as income rises, with anyone earning $600,000 or more subject to the $10,000 cap. Preisner said this may change how some wealthier individuals handle tax planning. 'Those that earn close to the phase-out limit will structure their 'on-paper' income to show income that is less than the MAGI to be able to qualify for the extra deductions. It may discourage taxpayers from making Roth conversions, [taking] capital gains or taking extra bonuses,' she said. Even those who aren't on the fence, income-wise, might change their behavior to maximize their itemized deductions. 'This is going to revive interest in taxpayers giving to charities and keeping their medical receipts as these deductions add to the SALT deductions, increasing their overall itemized deduction capacity,' she said. Real Impact on Real Estate Preisner said the change has potential to affect the real estate market in high-tax areas, as well. 'It may influence taxpayers' relocation decisions to higher-taxed areas,' she said. 'It may also encourage real estate purchases in 2025 through 2029 but dampen the housing market in 2030 when the cap drops back to $10,000.'
