  1. Understanding and Operationalizing Artificial Intellegence Survey
     • Survey Link: https://www.research.net/r/GNYBLBB 
     • We have launched a new survey to understand how utilities are currently using artificial intelligence and the main challenges to operationalizing it. The survey inquires about AI use cases, data strategies, technology strategies, data ethics and governance strategies, and organizational culture.
     • If you have an understanding of your utility’s approach to these initiatives, please take this 5-minute survey! If you are not the right person for this survey, please forward the link to a colleague who is familiar with these initiatives.  
     • We hope to deliver the results to our members in the form of a report by the end of the year, so help us out and take the survey!
