SUMMARY:August 13 Generative AI Community – Beyond the Pilot: Operationalizing Generative AI for Enterprise Deployment
DESCRIPTION:Join the Generative AI Community on Thursday, August 13, 2026 at 12:00 PM CT for a panel discussion on “Beyond the Pilot: Operationalizing Generative AI for Enterprise Deployment”.\nModerator/Facilitator:\n– Chat Hull, Ph.D., Head of Data Science & Analytics –AES US Utilities\nPanelists:\n– Sreenivas Badri, Sr. Director, Grid and Market Solutions – ERCOT\n– David Robertson, Sr. Manager Advanced Analytics – Duke Energy\n– Mike Turner, Chief Data Officer – Austin Energy\nSession Description:\nMany utility organizations have moved beyond experimenting with Generative AI and are now working to deploy AI solutions into production environments where they can deliver lasting business value. While pilots often demonstrate technical feasibility, enterprise deployment introduces a new set of challenges involving governance, operational ownership, cybersecurity, monitoring, scalability, workforce readiness, and long-term support. Successfully operationalizing Generative AI requires far more than building an effective model—it requires an organization that is prepared to support AI as an enterprise capability.\nJoin utility leaders for a panel discussion exploring what it takes to move Generative AI from proof of concept to production. Panelists will discuss the capabilities and governance needed before deployment, common barriers to enterprise adoption, transitioning ownership from development to operational teams, measuring ongoing business value and performance, and the operational readiness practices that help ensure Generative AI solutions remain scalable, secure, sustainable, and aligned with organizational objectives. Attendees will gain practical insights from utilities that are navigating the next stage of their AI journey.\n*UAI Utility Members can register and access all nine of our Analytics Communities via our Community Page ( https://utilityanalytics.com/communities/ ).
