Can AI make our grid better and more reliable? Or are AI solutions overhyped by execs and consultants that don't understand the technology?

This week we look at a real world case of AI being used to identify damaged equipment on the UK grid, and improve the way that network operators maintain their infrastructure.

The episode covers the various types of AI models and what they can, and cannot, usefully do in the energy system - with lessons for anyone hoping to see AI brought into their work.

Our guest is Amjad Karim, Founder and CEO of Keen AI. With degrees from Imperial, University of Cambridge, and University College London, Amjad is a real technical expert that talks to the opportunities of various AI models, as well as their limitations.

The podcast is hosted by Sulaiman Ilyas-Jarrett, former senior government advisor and Policy Fellow at the Cambridge Centre for Science and Policy.
