In an exclusive interview with River Cafe in London, Airbnb co-founder Brian Chesky warned Dezeen that designers must be involved in the development of artificial intelligence (AI) or the world of the future will be designed without their participation. Chesky warns that designers are "very late to the digital realm" and that if designers don't adapt and adopt AI, they will eventually become "subordinates" to engineers, similar to how most websites on the internet are created by "product managers" rather than designers. Chesky believes that AI will have an impact on everyone, and companies need to consider what that impact will be, and believes that design graduates should embrace the inevitability of this emerging technology. The online short-term rental site was founded in 2007 by Chesky with Nathan Blecharczyk and Joe Gebbia. It has grown to become the world's largest short-term rental website, with 1.5 billion stays booked on the site. Currently, the site has 7 million listings in almost every country.
