Identification is the first step in building visibility across the supply chain. Once products, locations and assets are uniquely identified, the next step is Capture.

GS1 standards for data capture enable information to be captured quickly and accurately using barcodes, QR codes and RFID tags.

These data carriers store GS1 identification numbers and other important information that can be read by scanners, mobile devices and business systems.

GS1 supports ten data carrier families, including EAN, QR Codes powered by GS1, UPC, ITF-14, GS1-128, GS1 DataBar, GS1 QR Code, GS1 DataMatrix and RFID tags.

By capturing data consistently and accurately, businesses can improve visibility, traceability and efficiency throughout the supply chain.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is reshaping the way industries engage consumers and patients, comply with regulations, optimise their supply chains and bring products to market efficiently.

For companies producing, moving and selling goods, AI promises unprecedented speed, personalisation and efficiency. Yet, its power depends on one critical factor: the quality and trustworthiness of the data it consumes.

GS1 Global released a report last year “The core relevance of trusted identification and data in an AI-driven world” that looks at this change through the three different lenses of Consumer Engagement, Regulatory Compliance at Scale and the Package as the Platform.

Read our latest blog where our Head of Retail, Maria Svejdar, discusses the report and where you can access it: https://blog.gs1ie.org/meaningful-ai-foundations-trusted-identification-and-structured-data

AI will continue to evolve. The need for trusted identification, interoperable data and global standards will endure.

GS1’s role is not to build AI systems but to help ensure AI can rely on accurate, consistent and verifiable product data across industries and borders.

This is how GS1 can help to ensure AI delivers value to consumers, regulators and businesses.

GS1 standards provide a common language for businesses to identify, capture and share trusted information about products, locations, assets and more.

GS1 Identification Numbers are the foundation of these standards. They uniquely identify products, logistics units, locations, assets and business relationships, linking each one to the information needed to support supply chain operations.

Used by businesses around the world for over 50 years, GS1 Identification Numbers help improve traceability, efficiency and data accuracy.

Consumers expect accurate, timely information about the products they buy—from safety and recycling guidance to sustainability claims.

AI can help deliver this at scale, but only when it is grounded in trusted product data. Poor data quality does not just reduce efficiency; it undermines confidence and trust.

GS1 standards help support consumer engagement that is accurate, consistent and reliable.

Read more about trusted data and consumer engagement in our AI report. Link in the comments.

As AI systems increasingly act on behalf of people, trust becomes critical.

Fabrice Caillette at Google highlights this in the context of agentic commerce.

When product data is fragmented or inconsistent, AI outcomes become unreliable. Global standards act as guardrails, grounding AI in information that can be interpreted consistently across markets and platforms.

GS1 standards can help reduce fragmentation and support more reliable AI-driven decision-making at scale.

Learn more about the role of standards in reducing fragmentation in our AI report. Link in the comments.

31/07/2026

As AI systems increasingly influence how products are discovered, compared and selected, consistent product identification becomes essential.

Globally recognised identifiers such as GTINs provide a common language that helps AI to connect data accurately across systems, organisations and borders.

Identification is the foundation.

Structured data enables scale.

Standards enable interoperability and trust.
