The utility industry is adopting AI to keep their equipment in good working order and keep people and property safe.

A volt transmission failure in Sonoma County is considered the cause of the Kincade Fire, which burned 77,000 acres of forest and destroyed over 120 buildings.

It’s not the first time faulty power lines have been the cause of major wildfires, and these faults are expected to occur more frequently as the aging grid infrastructure requires more maintenance.
