Moody's new Early Warning System will use Gen AI to monitor breaking news headlines and alert clients on how it could impact their real estate portfolios

One of the Big Three credit rating agencies Moody's has released a potentially revolutionary way of managing commercial real estate (CRE) by implementing Gen AI as an Early Warning System for portfolios. 

This innovative solution marks a significant leap in how AI technology is being applied to risk management and portfolio intelligence in the CRE industry.

“With our Gen AI-powered Early Warning System, we're empowering clients to anticipate and prepare for potential future outcomes by connecting the dots between complex circumstances and possibilities and ensuring what they see is most relevant to them,” said Luis Amador, General Manager of Commercial Real Estate at Moody’s. 

Acting in tandem with the tools available to investors, the system will work as an early warning system for its users so they can make decisions across their portfolios.

This Early Warning System leverages Gen AI to monitor headlines and notify clients about breaking news that might affect their portfolios.

Gen AI is highly regarded for its monitoring and detection capabilities, which is why it's being adopted in sectors like the field of cybersecurity.

Its strength lies in its ability to read and comprehend words. By integrating clients' proprietary data with Moody's comprehensive CRE datasets, the system can quickly perform stress tests using the information gathered from news and pinpoint potential risk exposures within the clients' data.

The use of Gen AI in this context marks a notable advancement in AI technology.

While AI systems are commonly used in CRE management, they mostly depend on pre-programmed rules. In contrast, Gen AI can generate new, contextually relevant insights from extensive training data.

In the CRE sector, this enables an unparalleled ability to process and analyse complex datasets in real-time.

For example, if news emerges about a major retail tenant shutting down multiple locations, the Gen AI-powered system would not only alert affected clients but also provide a detailed analysis of potential impacts on their individual portfolios.

The speed and efficiency of Gen AI are particularly vital in this application.

A study by MIT Technology Review found that Gen AI models can process and analyse data up to seven times faster than traditional machine learning models.

In the context of Moody's Early Warning System, this means calculations that previously took hours or days manually are now completed in mere seconds or minutes.

Additionally, the Gen AI system's ability to learn and improve over time distinguishes it from traditional analytics tools.

As it processes more data and receives feedback from users, the system becomes increasingly accurate and nuanced in its alerts and analyses.

The Early Warning System also demonstrates Gen AI's potential to democratise access to complex information.

By providing instant answers to queries about client portfolios, the system makes sophisticated financial models and risk assessments accessible to a broader audience within organisations, including analysts, stakeholders, and regulatory bodies.

Gen AI's specific applications

A report by PwC suggests that AI technologies, including Gen AI, could contribute up to US$15.7tn to the global economy by 2030. 

By harnessing the power of Gen AI to provide real-time alerts, automated risk assessments, and instant portfolio intelligence, Moody's Early Warning System demonstrates just how it can be leveraged to create tangible value in a specific industry context.

From cyber threat detection, to tailored adds, to now CRE alerts, Gen AI stands to revolutionise sectors across the board.
