AI-powered tool to combat porch piracy

UPS has introduced an AI-powered tool called Delivery Defense to combat porch piracy, the surge of package theft across the United States. Delivery Defense uses historical data and machine learning to assign a delivery confidence score to each delivery location. A score closer to 100 suggests a potential delivery issue, while a score of 1,000 indicates high confidence in the package reaching its recipient. Recipients are informed of possible theft risks and can opt for safer delivery methods like in-store collection or UPS pickup points. This predictive AI tool highlights the trend of using AI for predictive analysis in various industries.
