🎃 Airbnb Hates Halloween but LOVES AI

Good Morning from the Promptbox Team!

Across the web, there is a noticeable shift from AI to crypto interest - as expected.

While AI launches new tools daily, and has record breaking funding rounds, the average person isn’t actually doing anything with it. Yes, they’re using ChatGPT or Midjourney, but they aren’t making money.

Crypto, on the other hand, is having a moment - and people who put in just a couple of hundred dollars last week are cashing out thousands this morning.

Just remember, no matter what YouTubers tell you, this isn’t the bull run that puts BTC to $100k, so you’re still early.

If you have any questions on Web3 or crypto, shoot me an email: [email protected]

Happy Thursday. Let's get it.

Airbnb, the leading short-term rental platform, is embracing the power of AI to prevent a yearly tradition: unauthorized Halloween house parties.

These events have been the bane of many hosts who've found their houses destroyed and the company is taking a proactive stance to finally put a stop to it.

Key Facts

• Initial Measures: Airbnb had already introduced a "global party ban," restricting bookings from certain under-25s and banning previous offenders. This led to a 55% reduction in reported parties between 2020 and the following year.
  
  

• AI Intervention: Airbnb has now launched an AI-driven software system that monitors various booking signals, like account creation date, renting within one's city, the duration of stay, and specific event dates.
  
  

• Real-world Impact: Hosts like Lucy Paterson appreciate Airbnb's AI measures, feeling more secure with their listings. Lucy has had a majority of positive experiences with her over 150 bookings, and the AI brings added peace of mind.
  
  

• Beyond Airbnb: Car sharing marketplace, Turo, also utilizes AI not only for risk assessment but for pricing and user interactions, showcasing the expanding role of AI in the shared economy sector.

Airbnb's pivot to AI showcases the platform's commitment to ensuring the safety and trust of its hosts. As the technology evolves and learns from more data, it holds the potential to revolutionize guest vetting.

Still, the combination of advanced tech and hosts' personal judgment will be crucial in navigating the challenges of short-term rentals.

Take a look at the full story below.
