Brief Abstract
Mass appraisal plays a crucial role in efficiently and equitably valuing large numbers of properties, but achieving fairness and accuracy remains a challenge. While traditional models like linear regression have been commonly used, machine learning has proven to be effective offering several benefits and strengths. To better understand these methods, the IAAO AI Taskforce has been tasked with researching and comparing various AI methodologies. In this panel, we will take an international perspective, comparing datasets from multiple countries to explore how these AI models—such as Decision Trees, Random Forest, Gradient Boosting, and Neural Networks—can be adapted to different valuation environments. By examining case studies across diverse regions, we aim to highlight best practices in using AI to create accurate and equitable property values worldwide.
