THE PROFESSOR’S MINUTE MINUTE — June 25

 

“From Sleep-Talkers to Seagliders”

Tonight, we ride the wave of AI in aviation and travel… and one actual wave, too. Continuing our dive into Mary Meeker's AI insights.

  1. Chatbots Take the Booking Helm

    63% of Gen Z travelers in the U.S. say they prefer AI assistance when booking travel. Human agents? You’re now in “manual override” territory.

  1. AI Check-in > Human Check-in

    AirAsia and Delta now process over 80% of check-ins via bots or AI kiosks. This isn’t self-service—it’s self-selective.

  1. AI-Sorted Airport Security?

    Heathrow’s new AI pilot tags “probability profiles” to passengers before they even reach the tray. Fast track for frequent flyers—or Skynet-lite?

  1. Seat Selection Goes Psychological

    Want that aisle seat? Your travel history, booking behavior, and digital footprint may already have chosen it for you. Middle seat lovers: we know you’re lying.

  1. ‘Dreams by AI’ – Sleep-Based Content Generation

    AI is now analyzing brainwave patterns during sleep to create summaries, stories—even morning playlists. You dream it, GPT writes it.

  1. REGENT Seaglider Lifts Off (Foils First)

    Forget runways—REGENT just completed successful foil testing for its hybrid boat-plane “seaglider.”

    Part boat, part aircraft, part sci-fi surfboard. Watch this space… and this sea.
