Airbnb Using AI Technology To Crack Down On New Year's Eve Parties
(San Francisco, CA) -- Airbnb is using artificial intelligence technology to help put a stop to New Year's Eve parties. Officials with the short-term rental platform say bookings that are made for the holiday are being analyzed to check for risk factors such as the length of the stay and the distance of the rental from the user's address. If the AI system finds that a booking may be problematic it will not allow the reservation to go through. Airbnb says its anti-party measures blocked over 63-thousand people from booking homes across the country last New Year's Eve.
