Responsible AI in utilities: from ambition to real-world impact

Utilities are under pressure to decarbonize, digitize, and operate more efficiently – and AI is increasingly central to how they’ll get there. But adopting AI without compromising on regulatory standards and security is where the real challenge lies. That tension is exactly where AI strategy needs to start.

In this interview, recorded at the Future of Utilities Energy Transition Summit, Frederik Op de Beeck from Microsoft shares how utilities can adopt AI responsibly and at scale – and why the right partners are essential to turning AI ambition into real operational impact.
