Led by host Andreas Sene, explores AI is a transformative  as “fourth wave” delivering efficiency gains while demanding strong guardrails, provenance tracking, and ethical practices. 

Key Points

  • California AB 723 requires clear disclosure and side-by-side access to unaltered versions of digitally altered listing images, creating immediate compliance challenges for MLSs and brokers.
  • AI adoption is accelerating across real estate, underwriting, research, and meeting preparation, but legal risks around IP, fair use, and data provenance require guardrails, training, and diligence.
  • Inland’s institutional expansion (new CEO for Inland Institutional; $250M self-storage investment) signals diversification and growth in alternative CRE sectors, including repurposed retail and data centers.
  • Practical AI tools (e.g., Microsoft Copilot, conversational agents, AR glasses) boost productivity and real-time insights, yet misuse—such as uploading client models to public LLMs—creates confidentiality, compliance, and ethical exposure.
  • Provenance tracking for images and content (watermarking, AI-detection, QR/link references) is critical as platforms syndicate listings and media across portals and IDX/VOW sites; legacy systems complicate mapping altered/unaltered assets.
  • Cybersecurity challenges—social engineering, email breaches, leaked data—intensify with AI’s reach; ongoing hygiene and monitoring are essential.
  • Education faces dual-use dynamics: AI as a learning accelerator vs. plagiarism risks; ethical frameworks, proctoring, and critique-based assignments help balance adoption.
  • Political literacy and policy engagement are vital as sudden regulatory changes can materially impact CRE investments.
