## DoorDash Ventures into AI Training with New ‘Tasks’ App
DoorDash has officially launched a new application called ‘Tasks,’ offering couriers an additional revenue stream by contributing to artificial intelligence development. The app is designed to pay delivery personnel for submitting videos, which will be utilized to train and enhance AI models.
This initiative marks DoorDash’s entry into the burgeoning field of AI data collection, leveraging its extensive network of couriers to gather real-world visual data. While specific details about the nature of the videos or the AI applications they will support have yet to be fully disclosed, the program highlights a growing trend of companies engaging their existing user bases for data-driven innovation. For couriers, ‘Tasks’ presents an opportunity to earn extra income outside of traditional deliveries, further diversifying the gig economy’s offerings.
