AI-Driven Power Management: Artificial Intelligence algorithms are being utilized to optimize power consumption, reducing waste and maximizing energy efficiency in homes, buildings, and industrial processes.

From my understanding, this type of AI/ML has been used for a while, but no doubt the technology today is much improved than what it was even a year ago. Do you have examples of some of the ways this area is starting to push the envelope into what was previously not thought possible with AI tools?

"Internet of Things (IoT) Integration: Integrating electrical systems with IoT devices allows for intelligent monitoring, control, and predictive maintenance, enhancing safety and efficiency in various applications."

Without a doubt. However, this always has to come with added cyber security measures. The more interconnected a utility is, the bigger its attack surface area becomes.
