GS1 is now stepping on board with companies rethinking and restructuring their operating models, proving that open and standardized data are key for delivering sustainable performance.

Artificial Intelligence for better data quality

Data is the new oil. If this is true, then intelligence is the new gasoline: raw but complex data needs to be refined in order to be useful. This is where Artificial Intelligence comes in. Does AI really have the potential to improve data quality? And what added value can GS1 standards offer when using AI?

To answer these, and other questions, GS1 Belgilux organised the GS1 Innovation Café: Artificial Intelligence for better data quality. 

On November 14th 2019, the GS1 Innovation Café was about Artificial Intelligence for better data quality. By bringing specific cases, GS1 aimed to shed light on the role of artificial intelligence and how it relates to the existing challenges and solutions.

The first GS1 Innovation Café was about Trusted Supply Chains & Blockchain. It took place on June 5th 2019. By bringing specific cases, GS1 aimed to shed light on the role of blockchain and how it relates to the existing challenges and solutions.
