Airbnb, Inc. (NASDAQ:ABNB) CEO Brian Chesky is reportedly launching a new artificial intelligence (AI) venture focused on developing AI models.
Brian Chesky's New AI Lab
Chesky is in the early stages of creating a separate AI lab that could focus heavily on user interaction and design rather than conventional text-based chatbot experiences, Fortune reported, citing people familiar with the matter.
The Airbnb co-founder will remain the chief executive of Airbnb while backing the new venture, though he is not expected to lead the lab directly, the report added, citing the sources.
Chesky, who studied design before co-founding Airbnb nearly two decades ago, has repeatedly argued that AI products for industries such as travel and e-commerce require richer interfaces than text prompts alone.
