The National Association of REALTORS® issued the following statement on Zillow's app for ChatGPT:

"Implementing and integrating new technologies, like artificial intelligence (A.I.), into the home-buying and selling process has the potential to better serve consumers by enhancing the exposure of MLS listings and improving property search. Provided the use of technology is in accordance with MLS rules and data license agreements, NAR recognizes the importance that innovation plays in fostering more transparent, competitive, and fair housing markets. Compliance with MLS rules further fulfills the necessary display requirements and required authorizations, such as from listing brokers, that avoid misuse of MLS data.

For enforcement, each MLS is individually responsible for conducting its own assessment of technologies that use and display MLS data. This includes considering known public information and determining whether the MLS needs more information from the parties involved or otherwise as part of its evaluation assessment.

To determine if Zillow's ChatGPT application complies with IDX policy, an MLS should consider things such as whether MLS data is being transmitted to an unauthorized party, if the displaying Participant maintains "control" over their display, and if the display fulfills the disclosure and display requirements outlined in local IDX rules. It should also be noted that the display of MLS data on mobile apps is permitted under the existing IDX policy.

To support MLSs, REALTORS®, and the consumers they serve, NAR will continue to monitor the development and use of similar technologies and work with industry stakeholders to provide needed guidance, resources, and educational materials."
