WHY THIS MATTERS IN BRIEF

As AI’s capabilities improve it will revolutionise how we generate, transmit, sell and consume energy.

It shouldn’t come as any surprise to anyone that Artificial Intelligence (AI) will have a significant impact on the energy sector, and at all stages of its lifecycle. Whether it’s in energy generation where it’s helping to automate and improve power plant operations (OT), and simultaneously attack them, and other Critical National Infrastructure (CNI) assets, helping re-invent energy grids, and automate them, or, from a consumer perspective, helping organisations save hundreds of millions of dollars in energy costs.

In this infographic courtesy of Fuel Fighter we explore how the use of AI in the Energy sector will benefit and change the sector, and the looming possibilities.
