Amsterdam, 30 Mar 2026. In this article published in Installatiejournaal, Rewire's Simon Koolstra warns that AI systems in building and installation management are rapidly shifting from advisory tools to autonomous decision-makers — controlling energy use, climate settings, maintenance planning, and more. The core risk is scale: where a human error affects one situation, a flawed AI agent propagates that error instantly across every system it touches. Koolstra notes that problems rarely stem from the technology itself, but from poor implementation — unclear boundaries, overly broad system access, and inadequate monitoring. With the EU AI Act's high-risk provisions taking effect in August 2026, he urges installers and building managers to act now rather than wait for regulation to force their hand.
