Who is shaping the path towards the safe use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in electricity networks? What technical and regulatory challenges do we need to overcome? And what conditions are required to turn potential into real impact in the energy sector? These and other questions were discussed at a meeting organised by the UK’s Department for Energy Security and Net Zero - the government body responsible for energy policy and the climate transition. Ricardo Bessa, researcher and coordinator of the Power & Energy Systems area at INESC TEC contributed with his knowledge and expertise.
