Airbnb CEO: Rebuilding as an AI-Native Company

At the Skift Global Forum, Airbnb co-founder and CEO Brian Chesky said the company chose to rebuild around AI rather than layer it onto the existing business. He called AI an existential risk to Airbnb and also its growth engine, accelerating growth and share gains from OTAs and hotels. Airbnb shipped over 600 features this year, nearly twice last year's pace, and nearly half of customer service tickets are now handled by AI in 50 languages. Chesky also said Airbnb will launch its own agent and will eventually welcome chain hotels including Marriott and Hilton.

Hilton CEO: AI-Driven Project RISE Targets 75-100 Basis Points Owner Margin Improvement

Hilton President & CEO Christopher Nassetta said at Skift Global Forum that the company launched Project RISE in mid-2025, targeting 75 to 100 basis points of owner margin improvement through AI and process redesign. He stressed that AI-driven efficiency should be a recurring program, not a one-off cut, and revealed Hilton scrapped its entire legacy technology stack seven or eight years ago to maintain agility. Nassetta also noted that non-residential fixed investment exceeded 10% in Q2 2026, giving the industry room for structural cost improvements, but the AI infrastructure spending cycle has not yet peaked, with winners and losers expected.

Hilton CEO Sees More Room to Improve Owner Margins

Hilton President and CEO Christopher Nassetta said at the Skift Global Forum in New York City that hotel owners have had an abnormal, difficult decade — from the aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis and anemic growth in 2017-2018, to the pandemic wiping out more than 90% of revenue, a stimulus-fueled recovery, and then weak growth with high inflation. He said he began developing a response in late 2024 and early 2025; Hilton launched Project Rise last June and rolled it out this year, committing to return 75 to 100 basis points of incremental margin to owners.
