This new report explores how rising AI adoption is reshaping occupier expectations, and why connectivity, technology flexibility and performance reporting are becoming defining features of prime industrial stock.
Artificial intelligence is rapidly moving from experimentation to operational reality. As AI adoption accelerates across industries, it is beginning to reshape not only how companies work, but also how investors think about real estate. Buildings are no longer judged solely on location or amenities. Increasingly, their ability to support AI-driven operations and deliver resilient digital infrastructure is becoming a core factor in investment strategy.
In an era defined by climate volatility, digital dependency and escalating cyber threats, resilience is no longer a secondary consideration for global cities. It is a defining measure of competitiveness. The WiredScore Global Cities Resilience Index, introduced in Insights 2026, moves beyond policy ambition and infrastructure headlines to examine what truly matters: how resilient buildings actually perform on the ground
As WiredScore launches its Insights 2026 report, Resilience Gets Real, CEO William Newton sits down with author, former diplomat and podcaster Rory Stewart to explore one of the defining forces shaping the built world today: artificial intelligence. In this fast-moving conversation, Stewart shares why we are entering an era of deep unpredictability, what AI could mean for office-based work, and why resilience and adaptability are becoming essential priorities for real estate leaders worldwide.

Last month, WiredScore attended and presented at NexusCon in Denver, Colorado. The conference brought together professionals across smart building technology and operational technology, creating space for meaningful conversations about data, AI, and the future of smart buildings.
Across the sessions and side conversations, one theme remained prominent: cybersecurity. Here are our thoughts on how the industry is responding to this rapidly escalating challenge.
