Survey Findings - AIinFM

We are pleased to announce the findings of our recent survey and should like to thank all those who gave their opinions on the impact of artificial intelligence on the facilities management (FM) and real estate sectors (RE). For practical purposes, artificial intelligence (AI) covers developments in software and hardware that include, but which are not limited to, smart applications, cognitive frameworks, robotics, actroids and drones. A summary of the findings is outlined below. The age distribution of respondents placed 52% in the 51-67 age group, with 32% in the 36-50 age group and 8% in the 26-35 age group. Our first question asked for an opinion on the impact that AI will have had on the FM and RE sectors 5 years from now. Just 4% considered that the impact would be negligible.
