As a follow up to the previous episode on Artificial Intelligence, David has invited Rich Gagliano & Soofi Safavi from Black Knight to join the program again in order to address some of the listener questions that were received after that first broadcast about Artificial Intelligence and how it can impact the mortgage industry.

We know that across nearly every industry, advanced technologies like Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning and Neural Networks are changing the way we do business, and in many cases, the way we live our lives.
