On January 29, Durham College’s (DC) Hub for Applied Research in Artificial Intelligence for Business Solutions (AI Hub) hosted its fourth Tech Talk. The two-hour event focused on real estate from an industry standpoint and how AI has started to disrupt the market with key points around data integrity, privacy, security and regulation to help agents, brokers and investors improve customer services, achieve greater efficiencies, and identify and mitigate risks.

Four speakers gave presentations, including Tim Hudak, CEO of the Ontario Real Estate Association (OREA), Mustafa Abbasi, president and chief revenue officer of Zolo, Absar Beg, president of Lifelong Group of Companies and Gary Fooks, CEO and mortgage broker for 8Twelve Mortgage Corporation.

Attended by over 90 professionals from the AI and real estate industry, the talk covered topics such as quality assurance around financial documentation, putting real estate on autopilot, automation solutions for agents, and more.
