Why technology can change this work

  • AI prepares reports, plans, minutes and management options
  • autopilot gradually takes control in constrained, well-mapped environments
  • smart grids automatically balance generation and demand
  • AI forecasts load and output
  • robots and drones inspect hazardous assets

What protects the occupation

  • accountability for people, priorities and conflicting interests
  • operation in bad weather, road works and unpredictable human behavior
  • a large share of value comes from human judgement, trust or personal accountability
  • the physical environment is too variable for near-term full robotics automation
  • critical-infrastructure accountability
  • physical work and emergency restoration
