Session

The landscape for codes and standards is rapidly shifting as technology and policy evolve to address increasing complexity.

Artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to significantly transform the development and use of codes and standards while policies around copyright protections for standards developed through the private sector standards development processes threaten future standards development.

The availability of digital tools to assist in implementation also is growing. This panel will explore the state of codes and standards today and what we can look for into the future.

Learning objectives:

• Describe how technologies like artificial intelligence are changing the landscape of building codes and standards.
• Explain how copyright policy impacts standards development.
• Describe how jurisdictions are leveraging technology to support building code implementation.
• Identify future technologies and practices that will impact the development and use of codes and standards.
