The biggest conversation about AI in social housing
On the AI Pulse
Artificial intelligence is already affecting our everyday lives, whether we realise it or not.
The NHS and local and central government have led the way in its adoption in the UK - but what about social housing?
It's the one thing we hear about constantly, but how are we using it? Really?
What’s being used? What’s holding us back? And what do we need to move forward?
On the AI Pulse is the largest and most comprehensive AI survey the social housing sector has seen - and we want everyone to take part.
Why it matters
By taking part, you’ll help us:
- Understand the true appetite for AI across the sector - how it’s being used, where it’s adding value, and how impact is (or isn’t) being measured
- Uncover the real barriers to AI adoption - from organisational
- culture and confidence to governance, ethics and risk
- Track how things are changing over time - so we can see what’s working, what’s improving and where more support is needed
- Make the case for embracing and maximising AI - in ways that genuinely benefit organisations, teams and tenants
- Shape the future of AI support in social housing - helping us collaboratively find solutions that are practical, relevant, grounded in reality - and meet your needs
Who can take part?
Anyone working in a social housing organisation. In our first stage, from 16 to 27 March, we want as many people as possible to give their views and honest opinions.
From customer-facing teams to executives, IT to HR, housing management to governance. AI affects the whole organisation and we need every perspective.
On the AI Pulse is:
- A simple, focused survey
- Open for two weeks
- Completely confidential
This is the most comprehensive AI snapshot of social housing to date and it’s about organisational culture, readiness and appetite, not just tools and technology
There are no right or wrong answers; just real ones.
And there’s more
Alongside the survey, we’ll explore AI in housing in even more depth with a Delphi panel, experts with real-world knowledge who will independently give their views and feedback to help us determine a consensus.
The survey captures breadth. The Delphi panel adds depth.
Together, they’ll give us powerful, credible evidence to help identify any potential solutions to support you in understanding the importance of embracing and maximising AI – and ensure you have the skills to do it.

“Talking to passionate innovators and visiting schemes in person stimulated discussion in a way you just cannot get online, and lead to really starting to think about how we move from awareness and understanding implementation.”
