- Expectations at launch vs. the reality today – timelines, ROI, and adoption hurdles
- Success stories and value adds – where AI is already improving workflows
- Complications and limitations – from integration headaches to user buy-in and data sensitivity
- How different parts of the CRE finance chain (originations, servicing, legal, asset management, etc.) are engaging with AI
