New Housing LIN blog asks whether specialist and supported housing is ready for AI

As we prepare to launch our practice briefing on AI in specialist and supported housing at next week's technology-focused HAPPI Hour, Housing LIN CEO Jeremy Porteus draws on sci-fi favourites, the BBC sitcom Ann Droid and his own early work on smart housing and telecare in this latest blog, to ask whether the sector is any nearer to being 'digi-ready'.

He highlights low AI adoption among social housing providers, continuing digital exclusion among older people, and lessons from the influential TAPPI project, and argues that specialist and supported housing operators must quickly grasp the strategic importance of AI. 

And if this is of interest, we would like to invite readers to our free HAPPI Hour webinar on 8 October: Specialist Housing and the impact of Artificial Intelligence. Book your place here.
