Prestigious fellowship programme aiming to explore how AI tools can improve the distribution and use of green energy
Congratulations to °×С½ãÂÛ̳IC reasearcher Dr Kyrill Potapov, who has been awarded an 18-month fellowship to explore how AI tools can improve the distribution and use of green energy. The project will investigate both individual consumption tracking and communal resource sharing.
The fellowship addresses a critical aspect of AI in energy systems: ensuring that AI supports human agency, particularly for those in lower socioeconomic status (SES) groups, who are most vulnerable to energy poverty. The responsible AI challenge is to develop AI systems in energy micro-grids that are sensitive to the needs and capabilities of all users, especially those from marginalised communities. This involves creating AI that assists rather than limits human decision-making, a principle crucial in the transition to renewable energy sources.
