Data Interoperability GS1 Partnership & AI in Construction
Stephen Hamil, Innovation Director at Hubexo, details the vital importance of the partnership between GS1 and NBS, which is centered on data interoperability. This collaboration facilitates the seamless flow of information from manufacturer systems into specification systems, ensuring that what is specified is actually what is built on site. The benefits of this connected data for the construction sector are significant, including greater building safety and better sustainable outcomes, such as accurately measuring carbon by tracking material IDs. Looking at the rise of AI in construction, Stephen highlights an explosion in use, seeing adoption by professionals nearly double in the last three years. The key risk, he warns, is blindly trusting AI. Professionals should treat AI as an assistant, asking for confidence ratings and sources to verify its output, just as they would any other work.
