Marina Donovan is Vice President of Global Marketing, ESG and Public Affairs at Itron.
Itron recently released its “2024 Itron Resourcefulness Insight Report,” as part of its decade-long research on the perspectives of utility executives and stakeholders on issues on how energy and water are delivered and used. The report, “Exploring AI for Utilities; The Promise and Challenges of Artificial Intelligence,” took a deep dive into the impact of artificial intelligence and machine learning, plus distributed or edge intelligence, and was explored in January’s issue of Public Utilities Fortnightly.
In this issue, Marina Donovan, Itron VP Global Marketing, ESG and Public Affairs looked at what roles AI and machine learning play now, and how utilities envision their impacts in the future. Big changes are here because of the big advances in technology, with more to come.
Respondents from six countries said that AI and machine learning can have the most impact around safety, improving business productivity, and helping with better engagement with consumers. Look for the report on the Itron website.
