Trump’s AI order unlikely to slow adoption of AI in real estate

June 4, 2026 - 03:37

President Trump's recent executive order on artificial intelligence is not expected to slow down the integration of AI tools in the real estate sector, according to industry leaders. While the order aims to establish federal oversight and safety standards, real estate operators are already moving ahead with implementation.

eXp Realty Chief Technology Officer Carrie Lysenko outlined three key risks that property professionals should focus on right now. The first and most pressing concern is data exposure. As real estate companies feed sensitive client information into AI systems, the risk of accidental leaks or misuse grows significantly. Lysenko warned that many firms are not fully aware of how their data is being stored or processed by third-party AI vendors.

Beyond data security, Lysenko pointed to two other critical issues. The second risk involves algorithmic bias, where AI models could inadvertently discriminate against certain buyers or renters based on historical data patterns. The third risk centers on regulatory compliance, as existing fair housing laws may not clearly apply to automated decision-making tools.

Despite these concerns, the broader real estate industry shows no signs of pulling back from AI adoption. Brokerages and property tech firms continue to roll out chatbots, automated valuation models, and predictive analytics for lead generation. The Trump order, while signaling a shift in federal policy, lacks the specific enforcement mechanisms that would force a slowdown.

For now, real estate operators are advised to conduct thorough audits of their AI vendors and establish clear internal policies around data handling. The message from tech leaders is clear: proceed with caution, but do not stop.
