Presenter: Doug Chasick, CPM®, "That Fair Housing Guy"
Artificial Intelligence is no longer just a "futuristic" concept, it is the engine driving our leasing offices, screening processes, and marketing funnels. As we hand the keys over to algorithms, how do we ensure we aren’t inadvertently opening the door to discrimination?
Join us to explore how AI "thinks" and where the hidden Fair Housing pitfalls lie. From biased screening data to the "black box" of automated tenant communication. Whether you are already using AI-driven chatbots or are evaluating new tech for your portfolio, this webinar will provide the legal guardrails and operational strategies you need to innovate without the risk.
Don't let your technology make decisions your team can't defend. Learn how to audit your automated tools, manage your tech vendors, and keep the "human in the loop" to stay compliant is essential in an AI-driven world.
Learning Objectives:
- Identify potential algorithmic bias: recognize how "black box" algorithms in tenant screening and marketing can mirror historical biases and lead to disparate impact claims
- Evaluate AI vendors and platforms using fair housing–focused due diligence questions to reduce compliance risk
- Implement practical risk-mitigation strategies to ensure AI-supported processes align with fair housing laws and ethical housing practices
