AI testing and experimentation with EnergyGuard

In this episode of the EU Energy Projects Podcast Jonathan Spencer Jones talks to Spiros Mouzakitis, coordinator of EnergyGuard, on AI testing and experimentation facilities. As a critical sector the energy infrastructure presents specific challenges around safety and security with the integration of new technologies. The latest is AI, and with recent reports of models going rogue, the need for trust through testing and validation – as highlighted for action in the EU’s energy digitalisation and AI roadmap – is clear. Such preparatory work is well underway and EnergyGuard, one of three current projects advancing testing and experimentation facilities - the others being EnerTEF and AI-Effect - is focussed on establishing an open facility for real world testing in a cost-effective and easy way, especially for SMEs and startups.
