Session Description:

As the utility industry increasingly embraces artificial intelligence (AI) to drive innovation and operational efficiency, the need for robust AI governance frameworks has become paramount. AI governance goes beyond traditional data governance, addressing the unique challenges and risks associated with the development, deployment, and ongoing management of AI systems.

This session will cover key elements of an effective AI governance strategy, including establishing ethical AI principles, implementing AI risk management processes, developing a comprehensive AI lifecycle governance framework, and fostering organizational alignment and change management. By attending this session, utility analytics professionals will gain a deeper understanding of the critical role of AI governance in the utility industry and learn how to build a robust AI governance framework that enables the safe, ethical, and effective use of AI technologies, ultimately driving sustainable value and public trust.

Additionally, the presentation will delve into the evolving role of governance, outlining the key principles and best practices for establishing a comprehensive AI governance framework. This is particularly important as the proliferation of data and the growing reliance on AI-driven decision-making have necessitated a shift in governance frameworks.
