EPRI launches SAFERai.power initiative to establish AI risk framework for electric utilities

The Electric Power Research Institute has introduced SAFERai.power, an initiative designed to develop a risk assessment framework for using artificial intelligence in utility operations. This effort seeks to provide electric utilities with standardized safety protocols for deploying automated systems within the power grid. By creating these guidelines, the program aims to mitigate potential operational disruptions and ensure that AI tools are integrated reliably into critical infrastructure.
