Why technology can change this work

  • AI improves fault diagnostics and job planning but does not perform all physical repairs
  • smart grids automatically balance generation and demand
  • AI forecasts load and output
  • robots and drones inspect hazardous assets

What protects the occupation

  • work in confined, old and unpredictable sites
  • fine motor skills and safe physical intervention
  • a large share of value comes from human judgement, trust or personal accountability
  • critical-infrastructure accountability
  • physical work and emergency restoration
  • system decisions under grid instability
