US food delivery giant DoorDash offers paid side jobs to couriers to collect data for training AI models

格隆汇3月20日｜The largest food delivery platform in the United States, DoorDash, announced the launch of an independent application called "Tasks." Delivery personnel on the platform can complete simple tasks during delivery gaps or their free time, such as taking photos of restaurant dishes or recording videos of natural conversations in languages other than English, to earn extra income. These original audio and video materials will be used to evaluate the company's internal artificial intelligence models, as well as models developed by its partners in retail, insurance, hospitality, and technology sectors. DoorDash is not the first company to use its delivery staff to train artificial intelligence models; a certain exchange launched a similar program at the end of last year, allowing drivers to earn extra income by completing small tasks.
