Airbnb CEO Brian Chesky Says Some Workers May Struggle to Adapt to AI
He criticized managers focused only on overseeing people and people who resist change.

Airbnb co-founder and CEO Brian Chesky said May 5 that people whose jobs focus only on managing others, along with people who resist change, may struggle to adapt as artificial intelligence reshapes work.
“I don’t think people managers will have any value in the future,” Chesky said. He described those managers as people whose work is limited to overseeing others and argued that managers should direct the work itself.
Chesky also criticized people he views as rigid and unwilling to evolve. His remarks expressed his view of how workplace roles may change in the AI era.
