Utilities’ AI Double Play

By Roger S. Conrad on Feb. 12, 2024

From Asimov’s benevolent immortal robots to the hellscape of “The Terminator,” artificial intelligence has been the stuff of popular imagination since the early 20th century. Now, the advent of “generative AI” is reshaping reality, with profound consequences for industries across the board. The basic idea is that computer systems can be “trained” on data to perform tasks that have historically required human intelligence. And depending on who you talk to, the possibilities are literally limitless, including outright replacement of human workers in professions now considered outside the purview of automation such as the arts. Already, the vast potential of AI is causing governments to act to ensure generative AI isn’t used for destructive ends. And even technology multi-billionaires who have fought hard to keep regulation out of their businesses are lobbying for rules.
