Meeting Purpose

Discuss the impact and applications of AI in real estate, with a focus on practical uses for agents.

Key Takeaways

• AI is rapidly evolving and can significantly boost efficiency in real estate operations (e.g. content creation, data analysis, customer service)
• While there are environmental concerns about AI's energy consumption, it's creating new job opportunities as industries adapt
• Agents should embrace AI tools to stay competitive, but always verify AI-generated information for accuracy

Topics Current AI Applications in Real Estate

Overcoming Resistance to AI Adoption

• Many agents are hesitant due to fear of job displacement or technological overwhelm
• Emphasize AI as a tool to enhance productivity rather than replace human expertise

Environmental Concerns

• AI models require significant computational power, leading to high energy consumption
• Training a large AI model can emit as much CO2 as five cars over their lifetime (62,000 lbs)
