The third day of the World Petroleum Congress (WPC) 2023 developed a deeper conversation for attendees around the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in the energy industry. In the midst of a vast array of discussions and opinions, Sébastien Gittens from Bennett Jones LLP provided valuable insights on making sense of AI’s role.
Mr. Gittens, a specialist in AI and energy, highlighted how AI is currently being utilized and also touched on crucial aspects energy companies should contemplate when looking to onboard this advanced technology. As the AI conversation builds in intensity, Mr. Gittens offered the WPC 2023 attendees a clear perspective amidst the ongoing debate.
A compelling point made during his talk was the reality of ‘noise’ surrounding the use of AI in the energy sector. The term ‘noise’ is often referred to an overabundance of information and opinions, sometimes resulting in confusion or lack of clarity. However, as firms grapple with the idea of onboarding AI, Mr.Gittens approached the topic with a methodical deconstruction, providing clarity amidst the clamor.
