Airbnb Using AI Technology to Crack Down on New Year’s Eve Parties

YouTube, @FOX 5 Washington DC.

Airbnb is using AI to prevent New Year’s Eve parties.  Bookings are analyzed for risk factors, and reservations are not allowed if a potential problem is detected. 

Some entire home bookings for one to three nights will be blocked if they are found to pose a risk of an incident, and guests will have to acknowledge that Airbnb bans parties and guests could face suspension or being removed from the platform if they break this rule.

Last year, over 63 thousand people were prevented from booking homes nationwide.
