    Artificial intelligence is rapidly infiltrating the real estate industry, but how much of the industry is truly ready for it?  From site selection and investment analysis, to asset management and brokerage, AI offers the promise of enhanced efficiency, new insights, and transformed decision-making.  Yet, questions remain: where does AI create real value, and where might its limitations outweigh the benefits?  Will AI complement human expertise, or replace aspects of it?  As the industry experiments with these technologies, what are the risks, and how should professionals navigate them?

    This panel brings together professionals from across the Washington, D.C. real estate industry to explore AI’s potential and its challenges.  Join Carolyn Kozlik, Director of Data Management at Standard Communities; Pratik Dhebri, Executive Product Management and Business Leader at Avalon Bay; Laura Swartz, Customer Success Manager at Testfit; and other panelists to be confirmed for a thought-provoking discussion on the evolving role of AI in real estate and what it all means for the future of the industry.  The event will be moderated by Khushbu Sikaria, Chief Strategy Officer at ProperXPM, which provides AI enabled, tech-forward property management solutions.
