LOS ANGELES—With New Year’s Eve just two weeks away, Airbnb on Dec. 18 announced it will implement AI technology to help reduce the risk of unauthorized and disruptive parties around world, including in Los Angeles.

According to the company, the technology will help enforce restrictions on certain New Year’s Eve bookings in several countries and regions, such as the U.S., Puerto Rico, Canada, the United Kingdom, Spain, Australia, and New Zealand. Last year, Airbnb implemented anti-party measures which resulted in a decrease of thousands of party reports over the holiday.
