A practical guide for personal property appraisers on using, critiquing, and explaining AI tools without risking USPAP or credibility.
Artificial intelligence (AI) is a rapidly developing and largely unregulated field. Nearly every industry is affected by AI, and appraisers are no exception. When used correctly and cautiously, AI can be a great asset to any appraisal practice. Participants will learn more about current trends related to appraisers, how to maximize current technology, how to avoid common AI pitfalls, and the ethical considerations of AI.
This webinar will be recorded.
