Brian Chesky, Co-founder and Chief Executive Officer. CEO, so Chesky sees company-wide numbers first-hand; Chesky also has an interest in presenting Airbnb's AI progress favorably to investors.
How this was checked
Checked against the source by a first reader, then confirmed independently by a second reader who fetched the source without seeing the first reader's notes (Independent review agent (Claude Sonnet), blind second pass from passage text and citation only, no repository access, 2026-10-31).
Raw curl, tags stripped. The fragment 'nearly 30% of tickets in North America that are English-based are handled by an AI agent' matches exactly. I did not check that the passage sits under a Chesky speaker label. Other Chesky passages exist in the same transcript, so the speaker attribution is likely but not verified for this one.
