Use of AI within the energy sector call for input
Ofgem is seeking views on proposals about how Artificial Intelligence (AI) should be used responsibly and safely in the energy sector to encourage more innovation.
The Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT) has set out what regulators should do to make sure that the sectors they regulate follow the UK’s AI regulatory principles in their ‘A Pro-Innovation Approach to AI Regulation’ AI White Paper.
As the energy regulator for Great Britain, Ofgem is providing an outline of its strategic approach to the use of AI and what it aims to do in line with these principles. Ofgem will be measured by the Office of AI, part of DSIT, on how it guides the energy sector to use AI responsibly, to enable innovation through good practice. The proposed recommendations in this call for input set out how it intends to deal with both the opportunities and risks.
