AI Has Arrived in CRE, Yet Adoption Varies (VIDEO)

On the question of whether we’re seeing real adoption of artificial intelligence in commercial real estate as opposed to more hype than action, industry experts interviewed at CREtech New York offered mixed responses. None would dispute that 2026 has been a watershed year for AI in CRE, yet opinions varied as to how fully the industry has embraced this technology.

“There’s absolutely a spectrum,” Raj Singh, co-founder and CEO, Altrio, told Connect CRE. “Among our customer base, we’re seeing varying degrees of use, but really at this point, there’s almost no firm out there who’s not using it in some capacity. Some firms have gone all in. Some firms are still exploring. We’re seeing lots of different models, but I think the adoption has arrived.”

In the video below, you’ll also glean insights from Rob Teel, CEO of Yardi Systems; Matthew Player, founder and CEO, Zoneomics; and Sharon Wilson Géno, president of the National Multifamily Housing Council.
