Artificial Intelligence promises to revolutionize the utility industry, from predicting outages to integrating distributed energy resources. But between headlines and hype, a dangerous pattern is emerging: AI fatigue. Too many pilots, too many proof-of-concepts, and not enough actual results. Utilities risk getting lost chasing the “next shiny object” instead of tackling the biggest, most urgent operational challenges staring them in the face. In this episode, we’re joined by Kim Getgen, Founder & CEO of InnovationForce, who has made it her mission to cut through the noise and help utilities focus. Kim’s team has analyzed more than 600 grid modernization plans to identify critical challenges hidden in plain sight — and she’s on a mission to help utilities match those challenges with real, utility-grade solutions. If you care about real progress — not just buzzwords — this is an episode you won’t want to miss. And if you’re pulled in by Kim’s inspired perspective on innovation, you can catch more on the ‘Piloting the Future’ podcast she hosts, part of the Energy Central podcast network.
