Just before we launched The Green Chronicle I had, what I thought was, a brainwave: a column, each quarter, by “Eric”, The GC’s very own AI contributor. 

So, as part of his extended work experience, we asked Eric nicely to produce 800 word columns on Real Estate, ESG and investing. The good news: Eric’s columns were always on time, he always delivered the exact right number of words and he didn’t need a lunch break!

The problem was… they were utterly unreadable. 

In this edition of The GC, there are two pieces on AI and what it might mean for the Real Estate industry. One is written from the perspective of someone at the start of their career, the other from our very own resident Grumpy Old Estate Agent nearing retirement. 

Of course, AI is going to revolutionise the collection and analysis of data. But when it comes to the communication of that research output and its application to a human problem, I do not think the robots are much of a threat.
