Don’t bet on chat or voice as the future of AI, exhorts @airbnb CEO Brian Chesky in Part 2 of our no-holds-barred interview. Chesky tells Rapid Response host Bob Safian that apps — including ChatGPT — aren’t tapping into the true power of AI, and shares how he’s working with legendary Apple designer Jony Ive to explore a new tech interface. Chesky also shares details of how he operates Airbnb like planets orbiting the sun — and how once all those pieces of his plan fit together, Airbnb will be a very different company.
