About This Session
Speakers will explore where AI can reduce outages, improve customer communication, and support affordability programs without widening the digital divide it is meant to close. With panelists spanning digital grid technology at global scale, utility and energy consulting strategy, and academic AI research, the conversation tests which applications are ready to serve customers today and which remain promising but unproven.
