Uber Patent Filing Reveals Ai Projection That Could Deny Drunks A Ride

Isn't that similar one-half of Uber's business?

From Teslarati:

A recently-published patent application from Uber has revealed that the ride-sharing companionship is planning on using artificial news to position a passenger’s behavioral state, including beingness drunk, earlier beingness picked up. With this technology, Uber is hoping to ameliorate tailor its ride-sharing options for its ever-growing user base. 

The patent, titled “Predicting user patch using machine learning” describes a organisation that uses machine learning to report the commons demeanour of Uber users. These behaviors include several factors, including location, the precision of users’ clicks on the app’s buttons, spelling accuracy when communicating amongst drivers, average walking speed, too how long it takes passengers to asking for a ride. The commons fourth dimension when users hail an Uber volition likewise hold out included inward the system.

According to Uber’s patent application:

“The user patch model is trained to predict user patch using by features inward conjunction amongst previously-identified odd user states. That is, the user patch prediction module detects whether the user has input information inward a agency that is odd for that item user and/or inward a agency differing from normal user demeanour that is similar to the differences for other users having odd behavior.”

Thus, if an intoxicated user hails a ride piece walking too typing clumsily, the ride-hailing company’s AI organisation would hold out able to brand an supposition that the user is less than sober. Once the organisation detects that a user is probable drunk, it would “alter the parameters” of its service inward lodge to gibe the rider amongst drivers who guide maintain relevant sense too training. Based on the passenger’s state, Uber mightiness likewise throttle a drunkard user’s access to its shared ride services....
