“By feeding sensitive data into a sophisticated algorithm powered by artificial intelligence, RealPage has found a modern way to violate a century-old law through systematic coordination of rental housing prices—undermining competition and fairness for consumers in the process,” Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco said in a statement. “Training a machine to break the law is still breaking the law.

A RealPage executive allegedly responded that it was a “great case study,” according to the complaint.
