Airbnb chief executive Brian Chesky argues that AI will put pressure on two kinds of workers: people managers who only manage, and people unwilling to adapt. He made the comments on the Invest Like The Best podcast earlier this year, according to Fortune.
Why it mattersChesky’s prescription is for managers to stay involved in the work and its context, rather than focusing only on supervision. It is a leader’s view of how jobs may change, not evidence that these roles are already disappearing. The useful question is whether AI really makes hands-on management more valuable, or whether “adapt” is doing a lot of work in a reassuring-sounding forecast.
Discuss: As AI changes jobs, should managers be expected to do more of the work themselves, or is that a recipe for worse management?
