Artificial intelligence (AI) can play an important role in grid management and resilience, such as in load forecasting and planning. At the SIEW TechTable, Emmanuel A. San Andres, Senior Analyst at the Policy Support Unit (PSU), Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Secretariat in Singapore, shared his perspectives on the key enablers for harnessing AI in the energy transition.

Clean, reliable, and context-relevant data is important, as are data interoperability, consistency, and real-world relevance. “AI application and efficiency is only as good as the data that is fed into it,” Mr Andres said.
Diverse skills development, including AI literacy and data engineering skills and integrating them into energy skills, risk, and policy skills, is another important enabler.
Institutional enablers are needed to make sure that it's reliable, explainable, accountable, and transparent. through governmental frameworks, standards, and regulations.
