Description
AI has been successfully used within the energy industry for decades however for most utilities, scaling beyond a limited number of use cases remains elusive. Foundation models and Generative AI holds the potential to break through many of the challenges holding us back but also introduces new challenges that must be considered. As we advance research with initiatives like GridFM, and move AI closer to grid operations, we must consider how to leverage this technology with the trust, reliability, and security necessary for critical infrastructure. Collaboration between industry participants on the utilization of AI insights in operations will be fundamental to moving beyond research, allowing us to leverage this technology to meet the emerging needs of our industry.
