As the global energy sector undergoes a critical transformation driven by decarbonization, digitalization, and decentralization, artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as a key enabler for optimizing energy systems. This whitepaper demonstrates how open source innovation is essential to accelerate AI adoption in the energy industry and deliver on its promises.
Energy stakeholders must adopt a strategic approach to AI readiness by:
- Establishing robust data governance to enable AI innovation and deployment
- Investing in digital twins and data platforms based on open source shared components to support AI initiatives
- Supporting open, realistic datasets to fuel AI model development with third-party innovators and researchers
- Promoting AI literacy in the organization and workforce to help power systems make the most of AI tools and technologies and support AI experts in navigating and understanding energy-specific knowledge and challenges
