When Will AI Replace Évaluateurs de biens mobiliers et commerciaux ?

The impact of AI on Appraisers of Personal and Business Property will unfold gradually. By 2029, an estimated 45% of their tasks are expected to be automated. This transformation will begin with more routine valuations.

The early wave of AI impact, starting around 2026, will primarily affect junior appraisers handling straightforward equipment valuations and standard inventory assessments. These roles will experience moderate automation.

As AI technology advances through the mid-to-late stages, the valuation of diverse asset categories like industrial machinery, fine art, antiques, and complex business equipment will see increasing AI integration, though expert human oversight will remain critical.

Junior appraisers focused on routine equipment valuations and standard inventory assessments are the most vulnerable to early AI adoption, facing moderate impact. Their tasks are more easily quantifiable and repeatable.

Appraisers with deep specialized knowledge across diverse and complex asset categories, particularly those handling valuations for legal proceedings, insurance claims, and tax disputes, are less at risk. Their expert credibility is paramount and harder for AI to replicate.

To navigate the AI revolution, appraisers must focus on developing and leveraging specialized expertise that AI cannot easily replicate. This includes deep knowledge of niche asset classes and complex valuation scenarios.

Embrace AI-powered appraisal platforms like Zillow's algorithms and machine learning valuation models as tools to enhance efficiency. Focus on building credibility in areas requiring human judgment and expert witness testimony.
