In this episode of Brews & Appraisal Views, Dan sits down with cybersecurity expert Matt Kinsey to tackle the big question appraisers are quietly wrestling with: how do you use AI without getting burned? They break down the real risks of tools like ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity, including data accuracy, bias, hallucinations, courtroom defensibility, and client confidentiality. Matt explains why AI should be treated like an intern, not a licensed appraiser, and walks through practical safeguards for solo shops and small firms, from encrypted email and phishing protection to written security plans and cyber insurance. If you’re using AI in your business, or thinking about it, this episode will help you do it smarter and stay out of trouble.
