The AI EFFECT project aims to establish a European Testing and Experimentation Facility (TEF) for the energy sector to develop, test, and validate AI applications. Funded by  Horizon Europe, the project addresses the integration of AI into critical energy infrastructures to optimize operations, reduce costs, enhance resilience, and support decarbonization efforts.   This episode of the EPRI Current examines AI's role in improving efficiency, smart grids, generation, distribution, and customer tools as well as some challenges emerging from use cases such as the need for mathematical guarantees to trust AI.   For more information about AI EFFECT and AI in the power industry: AI EFFECT: AI-EFFECT | acquiacmsminimaltemplate OPEN POWER AI: Open Power AI Consortium | EPRI Micro Sites   Host:  Samantha Gilman   Guests:              Gianluca Lipari, Technical Leader - European Projects Coordinator, EPRI Massimo Bolognessi, Senior Electrical Design Engineer, ENEL Grids Johanna Vorwerk,  Assistant Professor, Wind and Energy Systems, Technical University of Denmark   If you enjoy this podcast, please subscribe and share!
