ETS26 Fireside Chat: Trusted AI for Your Reality with Bidgley and PSEG Long Island

AI is on every utility roadmap—but operational impact is still uneven. This session focuses on what it takes to make AI usable in real utility environments—where trust, control, and integration matter as much as accuracy. Utility leaders will discuss how they’re evaluating AI in practice: what they prioritize, what they reject, and what needs to be in place before anything goes into production. The conversation will center on practical criteria—data ownership, model transparency, and the ability to integrate into systems utilities already depend on, from AMI to DERMS to customer channels. We’ll also explore how to build on existing cloud and data investments, and what it takes to embed AI into everyday workflows across customer and grid operations. A candid discussion on what “trusted AI” actually means—and what it takes to make it work in your reality. -John Kupcinski, Chief Information Security Officer, PSEG Long Island -Karthik Moorthy, Chief Growth Officer, Bidgely (moderator)"
