Airbnb CEO Brian Chesky believes artificial intelligence (AI) will actually generate more jobs, particularly in entrepreneurship. In a recent interview, Chesky said the technology will propel “millions of new startups”.
He emphasized that it is easier to imagine jobs being displaced by AI than to envision the jobs that will be created, as it requires conceiving of what does not yet exist. He cited the example of AI already making Airbnb’s software engineers more efficient, with approximately 30 percent of their tasks potentially being handled by AI-powered tools like ChatGPT in the next six months.
Rather than putting these engineers’ jobs at risk, Chesky argued that the time saved could be allocated to more challenging and personalised projects.
