DraftKings Accused of Using AI to Target Big Spenders
DraftKings has been known to develop machine-learning models that can flag risky behavior and lead to early intervention. The New York Times has published an expose in which it claims that DraftKings, one of America’s largest sports betting and casino companies, has leveraged the power of AI to determine which players should receive promotional incentives.
DraftKings data analyst Jayden Butts argued that DraftKings was trying to figure out how to best spend its promotional budget. DraftKings argued that the entire report was based on a false premise that it portrayed routine promotional reinvestment practices that were common across consumer-facing industries as scandalous.
DraftKings has invested heavily in ensuring that it leverages responsible engagement as a linchpin of its business operational model.
