ORO24’s Atif Rahman on AI, data centres and the future of proptech

In this conversation with Gulf Business, Atif Rahman — founder and chairman of ORO24 — goes deep on AI, data centres, and the untapped potential of proptech.

Topics covered:

• Why AI is just data + algorithms

• The danger of unregulated tech

• Data centres as the next big real estate play

• Why proptech hasn’t taken off — and how it could

• What keeps Atif Rahman up at night
