Summary: This two-hour course is a deeper dive for real estate appraisers on the rapidly evolving world of artificial intelligence (AI) and its practical applications within the appraisal profession. The session combines instruction, live demonstrations, and professional guidance to help appraisers understand the capabilities, benefits, and limitations of AI tools such as Google Gemini and OpenAI’s ChatGPT. Participants will gain knowledge on integrating AI into their workflow responsibly, while also considering disclosure and ethical implications. This is not a continuation of Part 1 but will be more in depth and detailed.

1:00-1:10 pm Limitations and Error Prevention with AI
We will share real examples of ChatGPT errors and limitations observed in practice. Share the caution to appraisers to check their work and utilize prompts that would help minimize errors. The speakers will highlight the space is ever evolving and that changes and improvements come fast.

Thorough live demonstrations of specific prompts and examples of how appraisers have used ChatGPT will be shared. Examples may include: drafting engagement letters, summarizing market data, creating client communications, or outlining sections of appraisal reports.
