Steve explains the four waves of AI disruption: Generative AI (ChatGPT and beyond), Agentic AI (digital assistants that complete tasks), Spatial AI (understanding the physical world, Physical AI (humanoid robots doing real-world jobs).

You’ll also learn:

  • How AI agents will reshape how real estate work gets done
  • Why human connection is still your moat as a Realtor
  • What “alignment” means and why it’s the next AI safety crisis
  • How to lead change instead of fearing it
  • Why your future depends on boosting both your AI acumen and your humanity
