Discussion on AI's Role in North American Power Grid Security Raises Concerns
POWER GRIDS & TRANSMISSION
Experts discuss the potential integration of AI within systems monitoring the North American Bulk Electric System (BES). Current CIP standards do not address AI, raising concerns about new risks introduced by its use.
Examples of AI-related failures highlight the unpredictability of AI behavior. The complexity of generative AI models complicates risk assessment and mitigation. Experts suggest that while AI can provide advice, reliance on it without human oversight poses significant dangers to grid operations.
