Panel discussion
AI Minds In Motion
3:30 pm
At BOOST 25, the roundtable “AI Minds In Motion” explores the transformative—but complex—role of artificial intelligence in the energy and utilities sector. As companies adopt AI to improve customer products and offerings, automate customer service, and optimize grid operations, they must also confront new risks: from AI bias and hallucinations to data integrity and regulatory compliance. Experts will discuss the balance between automation and accountability, highlighting both the potential pitfalls and the powerful efficiencies AI can unlock. With practical examples and forward-looking perspectives, the roundtable will challenge participants to think not just about what AI can do today, but how to responsibly scale its impact in a highly regulated, high-stakes industry.
