Preventing Algorithmic Collusion Act of 2025

This bill prohibits businesses from using pricing algorithms that rely on nonpublic competitor data (like unpublicized prices or terms). It requires companies to disclose when algorithms set prices for customers or workers, and mandates audits of such algorithms upon request by the FTC or Justice Department. Violations could trigger daily fines of up to $10,000. The bill also presumes collusion if algorithms are shared between competitors, potentially leading to joint liability.
