DoorDash launches a new ‘Tasks’ app that pays couriers to submit videos to train AI

DoorDash is launching a standalone 'Tasks' app that pays delivery couriers to complete assignments like filming everyday activities or recording speech in other languages, with the collected data used to train AI and robotic systems for DoorDash and its partners. The app mirrors a similar move by Uber, which also began letting drivers earn extra income by contributing data for AI training. The service is available in select U.S. locations, with plans to expand to more task types and countries.
