Tech leaders unpack the myths, realities and transformative path of artificial intelligence in real estate
When it comes to AI, I think we can all agree: The train has left the station. Moving at a speed never before seen, artificial intelligence adoption rates are more than double that of smartphones and tablets when they hit the scene in 2007. The question is, how’s a real estate professional—and the industry at large—supposed to keep up? After all, when something is moving at warp speed, jumping on board is not only difficult but risky. That’s why real estate tech leaders on the forefront of AI have approached the movement thoughtfully, putting systems and guardrails in place to make sure AI works to your and your clients’ advantage. They want to put you, the human, not just in the loop, but in control. In this issue’s roundtable cover story, RISMedia spoke with real estate technologists on the forefront of AI. Here, they go beyond the hype to discuss the realities of AI, debunk the myths and provide sage advice for brokers and agents as they assess how artificial intelligence can help transform their businesses for real estate’s future.
