How Utilities Evaluate AI Before It Moves Into Production
AI is now now a priority across the utility industry, but moving from experimentation to operational value requires more than model accuracy. In this ETS26 fireside chat, leaders from Bidgely and PSEG Long Island discuss how utilities are evaluating AI before deployment, including data ownership, model transparency, accountability, security, and integration with the systems they already depend on.
The conversation explores the practical decisions behind trusted AI, from build-buy-partner choices and existing cloud investments to embedding AI into customer and grid workflows. It offers a candid utility perspective on what leaders prioritize, what they reject, and what must be in place to move AI into production without compromising control, auditability, or trust.
