Today we're joined by Laurent Boinot, power and utilities lead for the Americas at Microsoft, to discuss the intersection of AI and energy infrastructure. We discuss the many challenges faced by current power systems in North America and the role AI is beginning to play in driving efficiencies in areas like demand forecasting and grid optimization. Laurent shares a variety of examples along the way, including some of the ways utility companies are using AI to ensure secure systems, interact with customers, navigate internal knowledge bases, and design electrical transmission systems. We also discuss the future of nuclear power, and why electric vehicles might play a critical role in American energy management.
