April 28 Safety Analytics Community – AI in Safety: Exploring What’s Possible and What’s Holding Us Back
Join the Safety Analytics Community on Tuesday, April 28, 2026 at 2:00 PM CT for a panel discussion on, “AI in Safety: Exploring What’s Possible and What’s Holding Us Back” led by several speakers TBD.
Session Description:
Artificial Intelligence, Generative AI, and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) are generating strong interest across utility organizations, including within safety teams. But many safety-focused AI efforts are not yet fully deployed or production-ready. Instead, they exist as ideas in the pipeline, pilot efforts, internal prototypes, or concepts still working their way through governance and cultural barriers.
This discussion will create space for an honest, peer-driven conversation about what utilities are exploring in safety analytics today. What ideas are teams experimenting with? What resistance are they facing from leadership, operators, IT, or compliance? What concerns around accuracy, trust, governance, or risk tolerance are slowing progress? And where do participants see the greatest opportunity for AI to improve safety outcomes?
Rather than focusing solely on polished success stories, this session will highlight lessons from experimentation, early-stage efforts, and organizational realities. Community members are encouraged to share both forward-thinking ideas and the practical challenges that come with introducing AI into safety-critical environments.
