DoorDash Launches ‘Tasks’ App to Pay Couriers for Training AI Systems

[madmax]

DoorDash has unveiled a new standalone “Tasks” app that allows delivery couriers to earn money by completing assignments designed to train artificial intelligence and robotics systems. These tasks range from filming everyday activities—like washing dishes—to recording speech in different languages, with payments shown upfront based on the effort and complexity involved.

The collected data will be used to improve both DoorDash’s internal AI models and those of its partners across industries like retail and hospitality. The move mirrors similar efforts by Uber, highlighting a growing trend of gig workers contributing to AI development. The Tasks feature is currently available in select U.S. markets, with plans to expand further as the company looks to “digitize the physical world” through its network of millions of Dashers.
