NextGen Presents: Shaping the Future of Real Estate with AI

Last week I attended the NextGen Presents: Shaping the Future of Real Estate with AI event, which gave some fascinating insight into how AI is starting to influence the real estate sector across investment, asset management, leasing and development.
One of the main takeaways was that AI is unlikely to replace people in the industry, but those who learn how to use it well will have a clear advantage. A lot of the discussion focused on how AI can help improve efficiency, analyse data more effectively and support decision-making, while still relying on human judgement and relationships to drive deals and strategy.
It also felt clear from the discussions that the industry is still relatively early in its AI journey, which creates a real opportunity for businesses that are willing to adapt and explore how the technology can add value.
Laura Johnson and Ankita Sahadev also attended.
