OIES Podcast – Reshaping the Consumer-Energy Relationship through AI: Opportunities, Risks and Regulatory Outlook

In this latest OIES podcast from the Electricity Programme, Dimitra Apostolopoulou talks to Valeria Karina Moreno, OIES-Aramco Fellow and PhD candidate at Comillas Pontifical University, about her latest paper co-authored with Rahmat Poudineh titled “Reshaping the Consumer-Energy Relationship through AI: Opportunities, Risks and Regulatory Outlook”. In this podcast, we start by defining what AI in energy actually means and the benefits it offers households. We continue exploring specific applications where evidence shows value creation, and we discuss some challenges in which automation could lead to unacceptable manipulation. We elaborate on the need for an AI-enabled system to be inclusive and transparent to build trust. Last, we finish off with some thoughts on what a “good” AI-enabled system would look like.
