Airbnb CEO Brian Chesky stated that while ChatGPT is not currently robust enough for Airbnb's needs, future integration remains a possibility. Currently, Airbnb uses 13 AI models from various providers to power its service bot. The conversation highlights a trend towards open-source AI models over proprietary systems like OpenAI’s. Alibaba has emerged as a leader in this space with more than 300 open-source AI models supporting over 170,000 derivative models, making it the world's largest such ecosystem. Alibaba chairman Joe Tsai emphasized that rapid adoption is key to AI success, contrasting China's focus on affordable, open-source AI with U.S. investments in large-scale proprietary models.
