McDonald’s to end AI drive-thru experiment after errant orders — including bacon on ice cream and $222 McNuggets bill
McDonald’s is reportedly planning to end its artificial intelligence-powered automated drive-thru order-taking experiment at more than 100 locations after angry customers reported receiving items they didn’t order.
The gaffes included adding nine sweet teas to one customer’s order and giving another customer an ice cream cone topped with bacon.
The Chicago-based fast food chain and IBM partnered on the pilot program two years ago at select franchises.
But the company informed franchisees in an email Thursday that the program will end July 26, though it said it will likely reintroduce the use of AI at its drive-thru windows sometime in the future, according to Restaurant Business.
“While there have been successes to date, we feel there is an opportunity to explore voice ordering solutions more broadly,” Mason Smoot, chief restaurant officer for McDonald’s USA, told franchisees in an email obtained by Restaurant Business.
“After a thoughtful review, McDonald’s has decided to end our current partnership with IBM on AOT and the technology will be shut off in all restaurants currently testing it no later than July 26, 2024.”
Smoot added that McDonald’s will continue to evaluate its plans to make “an informed decision on a future voice ordering solution by the end of the year.”

Megachurch pastor admits past 'inappropriate' behavior with 'young lady' after accusation of molesting 12-year-old
Dallas-area megachurch pastor Robert Morris admitted to "inappropriate sexual behaviour with a young lady" in the 1980s after a woman accused him of molesting her when she was 12 years old, according to a statement obtained by CNN affiliate WFAA.
The woman, Cindy Clemishire, told WFAA the abuse started on Christmas Day in 1982 and continued until 1987, when she told her parents. The Wartburg Watch, a church watchdog blog, first reported her account Friday.
Morris, a senior pastor at Gateway Church and a member of then-candidate Donald Trump's Evangelical Executive Advisory Board during the 2016 campaign, did not mention the name or age of the girl in his statement but said the inappropriate behavior lasted several years.
"When I was in my early 20s, I was involved in inappropriate sexual behavior with a young lady in a home where I was staying. It was kissing and petting and not intercourse, but it was wrong. This behavior happened on several occasions over the next few years," the pastor said in his statement.
Morris' behavior was "brought to light" in 1987 while he was a pastor at Shady Grove Church in Grand Prairie, which has since become one of Gateway Church's 11 locations, WFAA reported.
"In March of 1987, this situation was brought to light, and it was confessed and repented of. I submitted myself to the Elders of Shady Grove Church and the young lady's father. They asked me to step out of ministry and receive counseling and freedom ministry, which I did. Since that time, I have walked in purity and accountability in this area," Morris said in his statement, adding he and his wife met with the survivor and her family in 1989.
