Abstract

The rapid development of big data and artificial intelligence is changing the traditional economic model. By collecting a wealth of personal information from the consumer manipulated by algorithms and then using algorithmic technology to accurately profile them, digital business platforms provide greater scope for their pricing activities, thus giving rise to the phenomenon of “big data discriminatory pricing (BDDP)”. The research revealed that the consumer manipulated by algorithms are not fully aware of exactly of what personal details are being collected from them and are not enjoying the full rights of informed consent, resulting in a lack of consent to price discrimination. The correlation analysis of the data suggests that digital business platforms should disclose the personal details collected from individual the consumer manipulated by algorithms to safeguard their rights of informed consent, so as to build a platform of trust between the two parties and adopt reasonable price discrimination under the premise of legal compliance.
