AI breakthrough warned

Morgan Stanley warned a seismic AI breakthrough could arrive by mid‑2026 — one that will strain compute, power grids, and disrupt jobs across sectors including real estate. The upshot: platforms and brokerages need to plan now for agentic automation and higher AI resource demands, not later.
