AI isn’t failing in real estate because of technology—it’s failing because of communication.

In a new article for the Urban Land Institute, Columbia University instructor Josh Panknin breaks down why the biggest barrier to AI adoption isn’t capability, but the gap between real estate professionals and technical teams.

This is exactly the kind of challenge Josh covers in his upcoming live online course, "Artificial Intelligence in Real Estate," where professionals learn how to bridge that gap and lead AI initiatives that actually work.

Blockchain and AI are complementary technologies. Specifically, AI agents need data to be useful, and a blockchain is an ideal backend to store that data. Why? Because a blockchain can serve as a common point of access for data while also giving users discretion over how that access is granted.

This is important because right now your data is fragmented across many platforms, each with its own rules and each able to revoke access at any time. There's no unified way to let an agent work across your digital life and you have limited say in what agents can access. If the data is onchain, an agent could pull from one place and on your terms with no platform serving as a bottleneck. Of course, to make this work, we also need to resolve privacy issues, but that's very much part of the crypto roadmap @_julianma.
