Most of those items referenced could have been done with computer systems in the past 15-20 years, without any use or need for AI. Indeed they still could now.
The facial recognition scenario could be done, as identification either linked to a key fob or token on a phone with the face recognition verifying that it is indeed the rightful owner linked to the token, or as recognition, where the face is assessed as allowed to enter as part of the set of approved faces.
And such access could be linked to the strata finance systems. Say you could have a bylaw saying only financial owners could access facilities like the pool or gym.
And as now, with any computer system, there could be errors, or the people managing the system could make mistakes(eg not removing as valid a face when a person sells their lot to a new owner.) And their is probably lots of potential there for admin overheads as tenants change in a rented lot. On the plus side it could be used as a dis-enabler of airbnb/STHL – if the short term renters needed to go thru a process to get their facial image registered, rather than just collecting a key and fob from a lockbox.
There could be some use of AI, or more correctly Large language Models (LLM) in strata. For example you could translate your bylaws and meeting minutes for owners or residents who don’t have english as a primary language.
