    AI-powered Appraiser: Beginner's Guide to Modern Valuation
    Event Information

    Artificial intelligence is suddenly everywhere in the appraisal conversation, in AMC communications, in lender workflows, in continuing education catalogs, and in every industry publication. For appraisers who have not yet used these tools directly, the volume of hype, jargon, and conflicting guidance can be overwhelming. What is AI, actually? How is it different from the automated valuation models appraisers have been critiquing for years? Is it a threat, a tool, or both? And where does an appraiser who has never typed a prompt even begin?

    This seminar is designed for the appraiser who is starting at the beginning. We will set aside the technical vocabulary and focus on what AI is, how today's most common platforms actually work in plain terms, and what they can and cannot do for a working appraiser. Through live demonstrations, participants will see generative AI applied to real appraisal tasks, drafting a neighborhood description, summarizing a lengthy document, cleaning up a narrative paragraph, and answering a research question, along with honest examples of where AI gets things wrong in ways that matter.

    Equal time will be given to the professional responsibilities that come with using these tools. Participants will learn why typing client information into a free chatbot may create a Confidentiality Rule problem, why an appraiser cannot delegate analysis or judgment to an AI platform under the Competency Rule, and why every word in a signed report remains the appraiser's responsibility regardless of how it was drafted. The goal is not to make participants AI experts in two hours, but to give them a clear, honest, and USPAP-aligned starting point so they can make informed decisions about whether, when, and how to introduce AI into their own practice.

    Who Should Enroll

    Appraisers of any discipline with little to no hands-on AI experience who want a professional, USPAP-aligned introduction before deciding how — or whether — to use these tools. No tech background or laptop required.
    Course Objectives

  • Distinguish between appropriate and inappropriate appraisal tasks for current generation AI platforms.
  • Identify the USPAP obligations triggered by incorporating AI into an appraisal workflow, including Scope of Work, Confidentiality, and Competency considerations.
  • Construct a basic prompt framework for repeatable use across common appraisal writing tasks.
  • Recognize common failure modes of AI-generated content — hallucinated data, fabricated citations, and plausible-sounding but incorrect market analysis — and build verification steps into their workflow.
  • Outline a personal AI system that aligns with their practice type, client base, and confidentiality obligations.
