Airbnb turns to AI to help prevent house parties
How would you feel if you rented out your home for a few nights, only to return and find that it had been used to hold a raucous house party? Airbnb said recently that as a result of its clampdown the number of reported parties dropped by 55% between 2020 and last year. Now operating worldwide, when you now try to make an Airbnb booking the AI automatically looks out for things such as how recently you created your account, and - big red flag - whether you are trying to rent a property in the same town or city as where you live. Ms Banerjee adds that if the AI deems that the risk of a party booking is too high, it will prevent the booking, or instead guide the person to the website of one of its partner hotel companies. In Toronto, Canada, Lara Bozabalian uses Airbnb to rent out her family's 3,000 sq ft cottage.
