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

TechCrunch·June 4, 2026

Airbnb's CEO, Brian Chesky, is planning to launch a new artificial intelligence lab. The move comes after Chesky expressed reservations about existing large language model products last year, stating they were not yet ready for partnership. Chesky's decision to establish an in-house AI lab suggests the company is now taking a more proactive approach to developing its own AI capabilities. The new lab will likely focus on creating AI solutions tailored to Airbnb's specific needs and goals.
