Executive Summary
Uber is aggressively integrating AI across its operations, from internal productivity tools to a complete overhaul of its customer service model, but is offsetting the high costs by slowing hiring.
The company is expanding its platform with the ambition of becoming an "everything app," adding services like hotel bookings through a partnership with Expedia and growing its Uber One membership to nearly 50 million.
Uber is pursuing a dual strategy for an autonomous future, making significant investments in AV partners like Rivian while also predicting that the number of human drivers on its platform will increase over the next decade.
The anticipated threat of AI agents like ChatGPT and Gemini disintermediating the Uber app has not materialized, with negligible user uptake for booking rides through these external platforms.
