Let’s Hear It! is a LinkedIn Audio Event series produced by PhocusWire that invites influential leaders and the travel industry community to discuss and debate the biggest issues around technology, distribution, current trends and more.
Hosted by the PhocusWire editorial staff, each episode features prominent travel executives and attendee interactions in a 45-minute audio event. These conversations are recorded and may be edited for brevity when published.
It’s been nearly one year since OpenAI released ChatGPT – sending the travel industry scrambling to figure out how to implement the large language model-based chatbot. Since then, brands across every sector of travel and around the globe have been launching plugins, integrating generative AI into their apps and websites and using the technology internally to add efficiency.
Monday, November 6, OpenAI will host its first developer conference – dubbed OpenAI DevDay – to preview new tools and discuss new implementations. Already the company has released GPT-4, DALL-E and Whisper. So what’s next – not just for ChatGPT but also other large language models such as Anthropic, which just received a $2 billion investment from Google – and how they are used across travel?
On this episode, PhocusWire editor in chief discusses these topics with industry experts:
- Toby Korner, Priceline senior vice president of digital marketing (was unable to join due to technical issues)
- Pablo Laucirica, Microsoft regional vice president of advertising
- Rahul Todkar, Tripadvisor vice president and head of data
