This isn’t just gig work anymore. It’s the emergence of an AI data economy.

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
