Why technology can change this work

  • AI automatically drafts analyses, finds correlations and explains standard deviations
  • smart grids automatically balance generation and demand
  • AI forecasts load and output
  • robots and drones inspect hazardous assets

What protects the occupation

  • choosing the right question and checking causality rather than correlation alone
  • critical-infrastructure accountability
  • a large share of value comes from human judgement, trust or personal accountability
  • physical work and emergency restoration
  • system decisions under grid instability
