Airbnb’s Brian Chesky plans to launch a new AI lab

Chesky also won’t be going into “founder mode” at this operation; a person familiar with the situation says he will remain as Airbnb’s CEO and not lead the new lab himself. Whoever gets the job will have to contend not only with the other AI labs, but also with a founding chair (we presume) known as a micromanager.

A representative for Airbnb and Chesky declined to comment.
