AI and energy planning ... join a working group

[Mark Howells]

Dear Open Modders:

The team that put SAGES [Shared AI Governance for Energy Systems] together are inviting governments, international organisations, big tech, researchers, funders, utilities, regulators, and energy planners to help shape the next phase of Shared AI Governance for Energy Systems. 🤝🧠

Please consider joining a SAGES Working Group, suggest a new one, or tell us what must be on the agenda:
🔹 model sovereignty
🔹 vendor lock-in
🔹 auditability
🔹 public-sector capacity
🔹 sandboxes
🔹 just energy futures
📄 Please do read / skim the report:
https://lnkd.in/emiuGj3X
📝 Please do take the 5-7 minute survey:
https://lnkd.in/eN3fMvTn

We are keen to keep 'humans in the loop' and ensure U4RIA transparency rooted in Open Source. I suspect there are some super-stars in this group that would be amazing contributors to the next round ... (If you are LinkedIn, please do flag / post / tag folk who may be interested here)

Best, Mark

Dear All:

Apologies - someone pointed out the first two links don't work. There is a strange LinkedIn redirect that happens. Direct links here:

1. Governing Artificial Intelligence for Energy Planning and Transition: Shared AI Governance for Energy Systems (SAGES) - A briefing note | Computer Science | Cambridge Open Engage
2. Sages Working Groups

And the LinkedIn post stays the same here.

Best, Mark

(Thanks for flagging, BTW 🙂)
