Airbnb CEO Brian Chesky plans to start a new AI lab, signaling his move from supporting AI to creating his own innovations. Despite Airbnb's use of AI tools, Chesky felt existing large language models weren't ready for partnership. Known for his close ties with OpenAI's Sam Altman, Chesky has advised on leadership and PR but now aims to compete in AI development, focusing possibly on user interaction and design. Chesky will remain Airbnb's CEO and not lead the new lab himself, which will face competition from other AI ventures and Chesky's hands-on management style.
