Artificial Intelligence is changing how organizations manage information, communication, analysis, and daily operations, but many professionals are still trying to separate real value from industry hype. This session explores practical AI applications in business, finance and real estate, including workflow automation, due diligence, property management, and investor communications. Attendees will examine how tools like Microsoft Copilot and Google Gemini are reshaping work, while also exploring the risks, limitations, and human judgment still required when integrating AI into professional environments. Through real examples and interactive activities, the session focuses on building practical AI literacy and smarter operational workflows.

• Understanding the difference between automation, machine learning, and generative AI
• Where AI is actually creating value in finance and real estate workflows
• Practical uses of Microsoft Copilot, Gemini, and AI assistants in daily operations
• AI-powered due diligence, reporting, and property management examples
• The growing importance of verification, governance, and the “AI sniff test”
• How organizations are balancing efficiency, risk, and human judgment in an AI-driven workplace
