DESCRIPTION:The demands facing grid operators are changing swiftly: power t
hirsty AI data centers\, clean (but variable) generation sources\, and ext
reme weather events are testing the power grid like never before. These fa
ctors require a step change in situational awareness in order to maintain
a safe\, secure\, and reliable grid for all. Over the past few years\, AI
was pegged as the answer. Visionaries dreamed up ideas for how models woul
d solve the grid most pressing challenges\, yet market-ready applications
have been limited to the low-hanging fruit: chat bots for customer engagem
ent\, forecasting of siloed data and other risk-averse use cases. Until no
w. The California Independent System Operator has taken an industry-defini
ng leap to bring real AI into power grid operations. With operators spendi
ng countless hours reviewing outage-related information\, CAISO partnered
with OATI to bring generative and agentic AI functionality to its outage m
anagement system. In this session\, attendees will learn how CAISO and OAT
I worked together on use case identification\, solution architecture\, AI
model selection and evaluation\, and deployment in an operation environmen
t. This session is especially relevant to utilities and RTO/ISOs that are
looking to operationalize AI solutions to gain improved situational awaren
ess and efficiency. We will discuss lessons learned and share methodical a
pproaches that should be taken to operate and comply with evolving regulat
ions. Key Takeaways Uncover real-world\, practical AI applications in powe
r system operations See the latest evolution of OATI Genie™\, the first
generative and agentic AI platform developed for the energy industry\, whi

constrained by infrastructure\, it’s constrained by how we operate it. L
oad growth from data centers\, electrification\, and industrial reshoring
is arriving faster than utilities can permit\, build and recover capital.

P DIR=LTR>Yet much of the conversation remains fixated on lon
g-term infrastructure\, while near-term capacity sits stranded in the curr
ent system. This session challenges a core assumption: before we build mor
e\, are we fully utilizing what we already have? This discussion will conf
ront the operational\, market and regulatory barriers that limit grid perf
ormance today and explore what it would take to unlock capacity in the nex
