Purpose-Driven AI: Building a Bridge to Value with AI

AI is everywhere. Gartner predicts that global AI utility industry spending will reach $17.8 billion in 2027. In many cases AI is not just progress, but a game changer, a big leap forward. In other cases, not so much. Big AI spending and the newest technologies do not always equate with new business value. Navigating data quality, business processes, competing priorities, and more are all part of building a bridge to purpose-driven AI that will create business value across the utility enterprise.

In this exclusive Energy Central PowerSession with utility AI strategy leaders and practitioners, we will dive into what purpose-driven AI looks like, what it doesn’t look like, “the basics” for a successful AI approach, and how best-of-breed technologies and practices can be part of the solution. Join us on September 9th for insights on how AI can elevate and accelerate critical customer and grid operations!
