Brian Chesky says Airbnb could be a refuge for workers who lose their jobs to AI
"I doubt humans are driving cars at some point in the future, and so all those drivers that are driving for money will probably have to do something else,"
"I still think when people go to Bordeaux and they drink a bottle of wine, I don't think they want that to be an AI-driven experience,"
"When they go to Lake Como, I don't think they want a robot answering the door for them."
"I hope that if AI displaces a lot of jobs, I hope we could be a place for at least some of those jobs to expand to. And I think a lot of people are going to come to us,"
Airbnb is expanding beyond short-term rentals into a services marketplace offering private chefs, massages, photography, and other experiences. Hospitality and service roles are expected to be less vulnerable to AI disruption in the next five to ten years because consumers often prefer human-hosted experiences like wine tasting or personal greetings. Autonomous vehicles and AI are already affecting driving-related incomes and many white-collar roles such as coders, paralegals, and data analysts face displacement. Airbnb anticipates that some workers displaced by AI could find opportunities on its platform as the company grows its services arm.
