Airbnb is taking a proactive approach to cracking down on unauthorized New Year’s Eve parties by utilizing artificial intelligence (AI) technology. The platform plans to ban violators from their platform and restrict certain bookings in seven countries, including the U.S., the U.K., Canada, and France.
The AI technology will analyze several factors to identify potentially higher-risk bookings for parties. These factors include the length of stay, proximity to the guest’s location, property type, and last-minute reservations. By considering these variables, Airbnb aims to spot bookings that could potentially result in disruptive and unauthorized party incidents.
Last year, thousands of guests were blocked from booking entire home listings on New Year’s Eve due to suspicions of party hosting. To further enforce its global party ban, Airbnb has implemented additional measures such as reservation screening, noise sensors, a neighborhood support line, and a 24-hour safety line.
The primary objective of these measures is to mitigate the risk of disruptive and unauthorized parties in local neighborhoods. By deploying AI-powered technology, Airbnb hopes to identify and prevent one, two, and three-night booking attempts for entire home listings that may result in party incidents.
These measures will be enforced not only in the UK, US, Canada, and France but also in Spain, Australia, and New Zealand. Guests making local reservations will need to acknowledge Airbnb’s party ban and the potential consequences of breaking this rule.
By utilizing AI and implementing various measures, Airbnb aims to ensure a safe and peaceful New Year’s Eve experience for both hosts and neighbors. These efforts demonstrate the platform’s commitment to maintaining a positive environment and preventing disruptive parties.
