DoorDash Launches New App Paying Drivers for Real-World Data Collection Tasks
US-based delivery giant DoorDash has officially launched a new standalone app called "DoorDash Tasks" that allows its drivers to earn money by completing real-world assignments designed to train artificial intelligence. The company is paying couriers specifically for activities such as filming everyday tasks, recording themselves speaking in different languages, and taking photos of physical environments so the AI can better understand how objects move through space while they are being delivered or used at home (Indiatoday.in).
