Tech wizards who made millions over the past decade have a new status symbol obsession: homes run with artificial intelligence. Forget about just automating lights or programming a thermostat to your liking. These modern homes — which sell for anywhere from $30 million up to $100 million — are intelligent ecosystems that learn, adapt, and respond to the needs of their residents. The home quickly learns what you like and dislike so it can perform tasks just the way you want. AI-driven washing machines adjust washing cycles themselves, and they can scan fabric types and colors to determine what kind of wash it needs. The home also constantly scans its own appliances, HVAC systems and security devices, and can predict any breakdowns before they happen and schedule maintenance and repairs as needed. Automated cleaning systems run vacuum cleaners, mop, wipe counters, clean bathrooms, and make beds. AI will also turn on the television and set it to what you like, as well as recommending shows and movies you may be interested in. Just like the mansions of the Gilded Age, these homes are meant to stand the test of time and will hopefully be standing in 100 years.
