Required review checklist.

Before AI output goes public or to a client, the agent and brokerage still own the final judgment. Agents and brokerages remain responsible for reviewing, verifying, approving, publishing, and using all AI-assisted outputs.

Did AI invent any property facts?
Are all numbers verified?
Are all market stats sourced and current?
Does the copy include fair housing-sensitive language?
Does the copy imply steering?
Does the copy mention schools, demographics, safety, crime, religion, family status, disability, or protected-class proxies?
Are property features verified?
Are square footage, acreage, zoning, HOA, taxes, and restrictions verified?
Does this create a promise the agent cannot support?
Would the broker be comfortable if this were screenshotted?
Is confidential client data included?
Does the agent understand and accept responsibility for the final output?

Broker talking points.

risk reduction,
not risk transfer.

"AI can help you move faster, but it does not remove your responsibility as a licensed professional."
"If AI helps you write something, you still own the output."
"Use AI for drafts, ideas, organization, and roleplay. Do not use it as a substitute for verification, judgment, or compliance review."
"Speed without review creates risk."
"A checker is not a shield. You are still responsible for what you publish or send."
