  • Airbnb Acquires AI Startup ‘GamePlanner.AI’ For Nearly USD 200 Million To Use Generative AI For Trip Planning

    Airbnb Acquires AI Startup ‘GamePlanner.AI’ For Nearly USD 200 Million To Use Generative AI For Trip Planning

    San Francisco, November 15: Hospitality major Airbnb has acquired AI company GamePlanner.AI, which was in “stealth” mode and led by a Siri co-founder, for nearly $200 million, to use generative AI for trip planning. Gameplanner.AI was founded in 2020 by former Siri co-founder Adam Cheyer and Siamak Hodjat.

    “What makes GamePlanner.AI so special is that they combine expertise in AI, design, and community,” said Airbnb CEO and co-founder Brian Chesky. “Airbnb is one of the more humanistic companies in technology, and I believe that, together with Adam and his team, we can develop some of the best interfaces and practical applications for AI,” he said in a statement late on Tuesday. Google Pays Apple 36% of Safari Search Engine Revenue Under Terms of Default Search Agreement, Says Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai.

    While Airbnb is already using AI across its service, including large language models, computer vision models and machine learning, Cheyer and Hodjat’s team will focus on accelerating select AI projects and integrating their tools into its platform. Cheyer co-founded Siri, which was acquired by Apple, and then led server side engineering and AI for Siri, while working alongside Steve Jobs.

    He later co-founded Viv Labs, which was acquired by Samsung and is now known as the company’s voice assistant Bixby. Cheyer was also on the founding team of Change.org, the world’s largest petition platform. Alongside Cheyer, Hodjat led the natural language processing team for Siri at Apple and led the largest engineering team for Viv Labs at Samsung. Elon Musk Apologises to Piyush Goyal: Tesla CEO Extends Apology to Union Minister for Being Unable to Meet Him at Tesla Fremont Factory Visit.

    “A big part of what attracted us to Airbnb was our shared commitment to using AI to enable human connection,” said Cheyer. “I believe that without great design and community-based intelligence, AI can only achieve a fraction of its potential. But with them, the sky’s the limit. The Airbnb team understands this better than anyone,” he added. Airbnb has grown to over 4 million hosts who have welcomed over 1.5 billion guest arrivals in almost every country across the globe.

    In the meantime, the percentage of imported iPhones to India decreased from 50 per cent in 2019 to 45 per cent in 2020, 27 per cent in 2021 and around 15 per cent this year — showing a significant Make in India’s boom for Apple.

    Scientists Document Cardiac Arrest Case of a 14-Year-Old at Overnight Camp To Access Planning for This Rare, Fatal Event

    Toronto, December 5 : Scientists have documented a case of a 14-year-old girl who had a cardiac arrest at an overnight camp, which provides a roadmap of how to plan for a rare but often fatal event. A healthy 14-year-old girl became unresponsive in her cabin, and a fellow camper who noticed began chest compressions after not finding a pulse.

    Emergency medical services (EMS) arrived and used an automated external defibrillator before transporting her to hospital. The teenaged patient had myocarditis, a common cause of cardiac arrest in the community and of sudden cardiac deaths in children. It peaks in early infancy and middle teenage years. How to Reduce Cholesterol and Improve Your Heart Health.

    Thanks to an observant, conscientious camper who took immediate action and a quick EMS response, the girl survived and has a good prognosis, according to the study published in CMAJ (Canadian Medical Association Journal).

    “Preparation for low-frequency, high-acuity emergencies are needed and should account for remote geography and prolonged EMS response times,” said Herbert Brill from McMaster University, with co-authors. Bride Collapses During Garland Exchange Ceremony on Stage, Dies of Cardiac Arrest.

    “Pediatric out-of-hospital cardiac arrest is uncommon but may be under-reported owing to inadequate surveillance systems, publication bias or legal concerns,” Brill added. Medical emergencies at summer camps are rare but should be anticipated as they can be life-threatening.

    “This case highlights the importance of early recognition and prompt initiation of effective compressions in the resuscitation of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, regardless of age,” the authors wrote.

    The authors recommend widespread CPR training for camp employees and older youth and automated external defibrillators in accessible locations to improve outcomes of cardiac arrest in camps.
