Will AI adoption shrink office space? Asia-Pacific firms are on the fence in survey

A recent survey by CBRE of corporate real estate executives in the Asia-Pacific region reveals mixed opinions on the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) adoption on office space demand. Nearly one-fifth of surveyed companies anticipate that wider AI adoption will lead to reduced real estate needs. However, a significant majority, 56 percent, expressed a neutral stance, believing AI will have no impact or that it is too early to determine its effect. The remaining 25 percent indicated that AI adoption would necessitate changes, though the specific nature of these changes was not detailed in the provided excerpt.
