Halloween is synonymous with parties, but if you’re thinking of using Airbnb to host your spooky soirée, think again! Here’s why:
- AI-Powered Bouncer: Airbnb has unveiled an Artificial intelligence-driven anti-party system in Canada and the U.S., aiming to curb the menace of raucous parties. Last year, it discouraged around 450 potential partiers in Ottawa alone!
- It’s All in the Details: The cutting-edge AI Tech evaluates hundreds of signals, from the duration of stay to how far the booking is from the listing, ensuring a peaceful environment for hosts and neighbors alike.
- Safety First: With a small percentage of bookings leading to disturbances, Airbnb’s head of trust and safety, Naba Banerjee, emphasizes the importance of reducing these even further. After all, a peaceful sleep trumps a haunted night!
Throwing a party this Halloween? Maybe steer clear of Airbnb! This reminded me of the Minority Report movie with Tom Cruise, artificial intelligence targeting misdoings before they’re committed…let’s hope it doesn’t go toofar.
