Bill Gross warns on gold momentum as regional bank stocks tumble
Investing.com -- Uber Technologies Inc. is adding a new earning option for some US drivers through its data labeling business, tapping into the growing artificial intelligence sector.
The rideshare company will introduce "digital tasks" in the Uber driver app later this fall, allowing registered drivers to earn money by completing quick assignments. These tasks initially include uploading restaurant menus and recording audio narrations in various languages, according to Bloomberg, citing an interview with Uber Chief Product Officer Sachin Kansal.
Payment for these assignments will vary based on the time required to complete each task. The company plans to expand the types of available tasks over time.
This initiative is part of Uber AI Solutions, which offers data services to other enterprises by connecting them with independent contractors for AI development work.
Kansal emphasized that these digital tasks aren’t designed to address potential driver displacement from autonomous vehicles, but rather to provide additional earning opportunities that will help attract drivers to the platform.
