Not worried about AI 'agents'
Taunay-Bucalo said TravelPerk will continue investing in AI to enhance its product offering and that the Yokoy acquisition will bring an "extremely strong AI team."
Devis Lussi, Yokoy's chief technology officer, previously worked at the Swiss-French particle physics laboratory CERN.
TravelPerk's technology chief isn't concerned by the emergence of so-called "agentic" AI, which refers to systems that can carry out actions autonomously on people's behalf instead of relying on prompts.
