Airbnb is using Artificial Intelligence to screen high-risk bookings and prevent parties from being held this Halloween weekend.

The company reminds users they have a strict global party ban in place.

Machine-learning-powered systems allow them to identify risky reservations, according to Airbnb.

Officials say their high-tech defenses deterred over 23,500 people from booking an entire home listing last Halloween weekend.

Violators can face account suspensions, bans, trip cancellations and even legal action.

Bookers will be held responsible for any property damage caused during a stay.

Company officials say law enforcement will be involved as needed.

Users can report issues anytime using Airbnb’s 24/7 support line.
