GWLRA Looking to Use More AI

(Editor’s Note: This story is in the process of being revised and will be expanded later.)

GWL Realty Advisors is looking to use more AI systems after winning some major awards.

Until now, GWLRA has focused its AI use largely on individual buildings. But the Toronto-based company has begun to explore ways to deploy AI in more ways.

“Outside of the building AI, we want to look at different types of AI that could help us with processes,” said Michael Bansil, GWLRA’s senior vice-president of business excellence and innovation, in an interview with Connect CRE Canada.
