Airbnb and Turo Use AI to Curb Risky Rentals

Airbnb uses AI software to detect potential house party bookings by analyzing account history, stay duration, and date. It blocks or redirects risky bookings.

Reported parties dropped 55% from 2020-2021 after Airbnb's "global party ban." But the battle continues, so Airbnb enhanced its AI system.

The AI looks for red flags like local bookings, one night stays around big party holidays. It gets smarter with more data.

Car rental marketplace Turo uses AI to quickly detect theft risks and personalize recommended vehicles. It incorporates ChatGPT.

Some hosts have additional rules, like rejecting first-time users, to further minimize party risks despite Airbnb's AI checks.
