More from Ai4: The legends of AI uncork the good, bad and ugly of AI today and tomorrow

What happens when three founders of modern artificial intelligence sit down together and discover they don’t agree on where it is taking us? That was the extraordinary moment at Ai4 when Geoffrey Hinton, Fei-Fei Li and Andrew Ng shared the stage for a conversation that ranged from runaway AI agents and job destruction to education, regulation, open models and whether AI’s biggest impact could ultimately be curing disease or eliminating illiteracy. These weren’t three AI commentators speculating from the sidelines. Hinton helped lay the foundations for modern neural networks and received the 2024 Nobel Prize in Physics for his work [...]

Ai4: Would you trust a brilliant teenager to run your business?

What happens when artificial intelligence becomes smart enough to do more than answer questions, but still lacks the judgment to know when it is making a terrible decision? That was one of the most memorable themes from Jeetu Patel, president and chief product officer at Cisco, during his Ai4 keynote conversation last week. Patel compared today’s AI agents to teenagers: highly intelligent, fearless about consequences and occasionally capable of remarkably poor judgment. It was funny because it was instantly relatable, but it was also one of the clearest explanations I have heard of the risk facing companies as AI moves [...]

Inside AI – Episode 4 with Drew Fabrikant: When AI agents start talking to each other

Don’t miss: Inside AI Episode 4: Drew Fabrikant, CEO and Founder of Scout, explains what real estate should be preparing for next About 18 months ago, Drew Fabrikant told me something I thought was completely insane. He predicted that his bot would eventually talk to my bot. They would have conversations, exchange information and then report back to us about what they had discussed. I told him it was never going to happen. I was wrong. Fabrikant is the founder and CEO of Scout, an AI-powered platform that helps real estate professionals find the right people, identify signals that they [...]

Inside AI – Episode 3 with Ashley Fidler: The biggest AI mistake real estate companies are making

The biggest AI mistake real estate companies are making has nothing to do with choosing the wrong technology. It happens earlier, when leaders decide they need AI before deciding what they actually need AI to do. That mistake becomes far more amplified with agentic AI: technology that can take actions on a user’s behalf. Give a person the wrong permission, and the damage may be limited by how quickly that person can act. Give an AI system the same permission, and it can move at lightning speed, touch thousands of records and multiply the risk before anyone realizes what happened. [...]

Your MLS Can Be National too – You just haven’t promoted it that way yet

MLS of Choice acknowledged a truth that MLSs need to compete more aggressively today: brokerage operations do not always fit neatly into legacy MLS boundaries. Brokers operate across markets today, and a handful are national. Agents hold licenses in multiple states. Consumers move, invest, retire, relocate, and buy second homes across the country. Technology platforms are not dependent on a local office, a local association boundary, or a local physical presence.

The new Zillow Workspace: Convenient tool or brokerage replacement?

Zillow’s new pitch for the new Zillow Workspace sounds so friendly, so helpful, and  so wonderfully efficient: “Your business, your tools, one workspace.” Zillow has looked across the real estate industry, seen the frustrating burden of accessing technologies from multiple log-ins, and heroically stepped in to save the day. Zillow Workspace is being positioned as the agent’s “command center” for real estate efficiency. It brings together access to Zillow tools, Follow Up Boss, Dotloop, ShowingTime, Showcase, listing media, showing activity, deal activity, and the promise of lots more integrations to come.

The Free, Must-Have Digital Payment Tool Helping Brokerages Ditch Paper Checks, Improve Cash Flow, and Keep Agents Happy

A missed earnest money deposit, delayed commission payment, misplaced check, or slow-moving wire can create unnecessary stress, slow down a transaction, or, in the worst case, put a deal at risk. For brokers, the payment process is more than an administrative function. It directly impacts cash flow, agent satisfaction, consumer confidence, and operational efficiency. That is why digital payment solutions like DepositLink are quickly becoming a practical, high-value tool for brokerages of all sizes.

The Build, Buy, Partner Question Just Got Answered. Watch the Webinar and Learn About the Keller Williams Lone Wolf Launch

Bottom line: Keller Williams just embedded Lone Wolf's Transact platform directly inside Command, and the announcement matters far beyond the KW agent base. It is a working blueprint for how the largest brokerages and franchises in North America will resolve the build, buy, partner question over the next 36 months. Every CEO and board member running an organized real estate organization should spend an hour with the recording. I moderated the webinar last week with David Voorhees, who leads Keller Williams Labs, and Kyle Hunter, the Lone Wolf executive who owns the partnership on the vendor side. The conversation was unusually candid. What follows is why broker-owners, MLS executives, and franchise leaders should put the recording on their calendar and what they will take away when they do.

Clareity26: An industry in motion, not in transition

Clareity26 didn’t feel like a conference about change. It felt like a conference inside of change. More than 200 MLS executives, brokers, and industry leaders gathered in Tucson with a shared understanding that the rules are shifting in real time. From AI adoption and cybersecurity threats to private listings and legal pressure, the conversations weren’t about what might happen next. They were about what’s happening now. This was also the final Clareity Workshop after a 24-year run. That added weight to every discussion. This wasn’t just another event. It was a moment of reflection for an industry that is being [...]

Why the MLS Must Remain the Heart of Data Integrity in Real Estate

If you lead an MLS today, there is a good chance your organization looks very different than it did five years ago. Consolidation is reshaping our industry rapidly, and what started as a local association serving one or two counties is now more likely part of a regional or even multi-state operation. The growth is real and the opportunity is significant. But so is the pressure on the systems that hold it all together.
