AI features in the planning inquiry process have already become a cause for concern in the industry. One of the biggest detected problems with AI is its tendency to produce plausible information that is 'self-generated' - in other words completely made up! Planning Partner, Robert Bruce spoke to Property Week about his views on the use of AI within the industry, "If you're a decision-maker and you're getting information that is very believable but you find out is completely made up, then that's no basis upon which to make an informed decision about an important planning matter" Take a read of the full article below to hear more from Robert as well as Real Estate Partner, Daniel Abrahams' views on AI tools and the need for users to be transparent when using them. #AIInPlanning #PlanningLaw #PropertyWeek
