Energy Dept. researchers stress privacy concerns related to AI use for grid resiliency

Two of the Department of Energy’s laboratories have submitted comments on the use of artificial intelligence to boost electric grid resiliency through improved predictability and planning, while raising concerns about ensuring privacy for the data that drives those AI tools.

“In the effort to enhance grid resilience, prioritizing privacy becomes essential, acting as a foundation for protecting sensitive data, building trust among stakeholders, and supporting collaborative work towards a safer energy infrastructure,” says DOE’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory in ...
