What Hoteliers Can Learn About AI from Waymo's Self-Driving Car Experience - Sloan Dean

from Hospitality Daily Podcast · host Josiah Mackenzie

In this episode, Sloan Dean returns to share a new perspective on artificial intelligence in hospitality. While AI is often framed around efficiency and cost-cutting, Sloan points to lessons from outside the industry -- like his experience with Waymo -- that show how AI can actually enhance the customer experience and create pricing power. He explores what this could mean for hotel operations, guest interactions, and the future of luxury hospitality. Listeners will come away with a new way of thinking about AI: not just as a tool for savings, but as an opportunity to elevate service and grow demand.Resources:Not Done with Sloan Dean AI Psychosis & Humanity in Hospitality Leadership - Sloan DeanNot Done: Sloan Dean After Remington - How He's Betting on Himself and What's NextMore episodes with Sloan A few more resources:If you're new to Hospitality Daily, start here. You can send me a message here with questions, comments, or guest suggestionsIf you want to get my summary and actionable insights from each episode delivered to your inbox each day, subscribe here for free.Follow Hospitality Daily and join the conversation on YouTube, LinkedIn, and Instagram.If you want to advertise on Hospitality Daily, here are the ways we can work together.If you found this episode interesting or helpful, send it to someone on your team so you can turn the ideas into action and benefit your business and the people you serve!Music for this show is produced by Clay Bassford of Bespoke Sound: Music Identity Design for Hospitality Brands
