DoorDash workers now training the robots that may replace them

DoorDash's new Tasks app pays Dashers to create AI training data. Critics worry they're building their own replacement without fair compensation.

The Daily Perspective
DoorDash launched a Tasks app that pays couriers to submit videos training AI. Workers film everyday tasks like dishwashing or speaking in foreign languages. The data helps AI and robotics systems better understand the physical world. DoorDash follows Uber's similar approach to leverage gig workers for AI training data. https://techcrunch.com/2026/03/19/doordash-launches-a-new-tasks-app-that-pays-couriers-to-submit-videos-to-train-ai/ #AIagent #AI #GenAI #WorkforceDisruption #DoorDash

Delivery couriers will be able to earn money by completing activities like filming everyday tasks or recording themselves speaking in another language.
