Overview

• Uber announced a U.S. pilot that surfaces short AI-training “Digital Tasks” to select drivers and couriers in its app.
• Uber’s AI Solutions Group is running the program, with examples including uploading photos and recording speech to train models.
• Tasks appear when workers are off trips and are blocked while driving or waiting for rides to satisfy safety rules.
• Compensation is shown before acceptance and varies by complexity and time, while client names and project details remain undisclosed.
• Uber says the work is not tied to its autonomous-vehicle partnerships, and the approach builds on earlier testing in India.
