Analysis
DoorDash is using artificial intelligence (AI) to analyse in-app chats and identify instances where a client or Dasher is being harassed. This feature is called “SafeChat+.” According to the company, the AI can cover “dozens” of languages, including English, French, Spanish, Portuguese, and Mandarin, and it can process over 1,400 messages each minute. All issues identified by the AI will be looked upon by team members. The functionality is an upgrade above SafeChat, where verbal abuse is manually screened out of discussions by DoorDash’s Trust & Safety team.
