(NASDAQ:ABNB) CEO Brian Chesky is reportedly launching a new artificial intelligence (AI) venture focused on developing AI models.\nChesky is in the early stages of creating a separate AI lab that could focus heavily on user interaction and design rather than conventional text-based chatbot experiences, Fortune reported, citing people familiar with the matter.\nThe Airbnb co-founder will remain the chief executive of Airbnb while backing the new venture, though he is not expected to lead the lab directly, the report added, citing the sources.\nChesky, who studied design before co-founding Airbnb nearly two decades ago, has repeatedly argued that AI products for industries such as travel and e-commerce require richer interfaces than text prompts alone.\nChesky has previously said existing AI tools are not yet robust enough for the type of travel experiences he envisions, favoring more immersive and interactive interfaces instead.\nAirbnb did not immediately respond to Benzinga's request for comments.\nThe reported AI effort aligns with Airbnb's broader strategy to evolve beyond home rentals into a more comprehensive travel platform.\nThe company has expanded into additional services and experiences as Chesky works toward building what he has described as a \"do-it-all\" travel app.\nAirbnb reported first-quarter revenue of $2.27 billion, up 6% from a year earlier and slightly ahead of analyst expectations of $2.26 billion.\nFor the second quarter, the company forecast revenue between $2.99 billion and $3.05 billion, compared with analyst estimates of $3.04 billion, while projecting year-over-year growth in Nights and Experiences booked to remain moderate relative to the first quarter.\nPrice Action: Shares of Airbnb closed Thursday at $133.72, up 0.1% and declined 0.09% to $133.60 in after-hours trading, according to Benzinga Pro.\nAccording to Benzinga Edge Stock Rankings, ABNB ranks in the 94th percentile for Growth, with weak short-term performance but a positive price trend over the medium and long term.\nDisclaimer: This content was partially produced with the help of AI tools and was reviewed and published by Benzinga editors.\nPhoto courtesy: Thrive Studios ID / Shutterstock.com\nTo add Benzinga News as your preferred source on Google, click here.","kind":"highlight","is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":false,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"isVideo":false,"video":null,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":0,"need_auth":false,"need_login_tip":false,"code":"91000000","status":"200"},"commentList":[],"isCommentEnd":true,"newsSizeData":{"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"favoriteSize":0,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false},"APP":{"userAgent":"Mozilla/5.0 AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko; compatible; ClaudeBot/1.0; +claudebot@anthropic.com)","isDev":false,"isTTM":true,"tenantId":"TBGLOBAL","deviceId":"web-server-community-laohu8-v3","version":"4.43.1","shortVersion":"4.43.1","platform":"web","vendor":"web","appName":"ttm","isIOS":false,"isAndroid":false,"isTiger":false,"isTHS":false,"isWeiXin":false,"isWeiXinMini":false,"isWeiBo":false,"isQQ":false,"isBaiduSwan":false,"isBaiduBox":false,"isDingTalk":false,"isToutiao":false,"isOnePlus":false,"isHuaWei":false,"isXiaomi":false,"isXiaomiWebView":false,"isOppo":false,"isVivo":false,"isSamsung":false,"isMobile":false},"href":"/m/news/2641911640","isCrawlerRequest":true}
