This program examines how and why artificial intelligence produces confident but unreliable outputs, and why “trust but verify” is no longer optional when AI is used in real estate practice. Drawing on Illinois guidance and real‑world examples, the program highlights common AI failure points—such as hallucinations, data leakage, and over‑automation—and explains how human oversight and clear guardrails are essential to managing ethical and professional responsibility risk.
