AMA HOST WILL GO LIVE ON MAY 7TH @ 11AM EST Hello everyone! Matthias here. As Chief Product Officer at KAYAK, I lead our AI initiatives and development of intelligent travel interfaces.
First thing I'll say is that AI in travel is deceptively complex. Many companies claim to have "solved" it, but most solutions fall short in critical ways - either they don't access real-time pricing, they hallucinate travel information, or they create frustrating user experiences.

The world has changed rapidly over the past two decades with the internet, new technologies and the accelerated transfer of information.
Anyone not actively working online or in IT may have trouble keeping up with these "tech trends." This is especially true for older generations who did not have the opportunity to grow up with computers as it is today.
I noticed some software engineers are still getting $300,000 roles and many are just being kicked out of companies or not looked at when applying for their roles and working to get things done. How rough is the job market now for professional roles in some sense with the use of AI taking everything over or are the roles still there but just being turned into a manner where AI is being needed to stay competitive and in the roles at all? What is the future outlook really like?
AI is growing faster than ever, and honestly, it feels like we re riding a giant wave of creativity and innovation! From generative art to powerful language models, automation at work, and AI-powered healthcare breakthroughs it s amazing how much is happening. But here s the cool part: different things spark excitement for different people. Maybe it s a tool that made a tough job easier. Maybe it s a crazy new concept that opened your mind to fresh possibilities. Maybe it s just that "OMG" feeling you get when you see AI pull off something wild (like my Auntie, who literally gasped the first time she saw ChatGPT could calculate calories of her plates! ).
I'd love to hear what s making you most excited about AI right now! Big or small moments, drop them below and let's discuss together.
