Project 05321: The Role of Generative AI (GenAI) for the Global Water Sector
Digital technologies are important in addressing current and future water sector challenges, such as aging infrastructure, water resource scarcity, and workforce sustainability. Supporting the rapidly evolving digital technology needs of the water sector is important to The Water Research Foundation (WRF), American Water Works Association (AWWA), and Water Environment Federation (WEF), evolving into a partnership with Karmous Edwards Consulting.
While digital transformation of the water sector has been underway for many years, the emergence of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) represents a significant opportunity to enhance the efficiency and resiliency of the water sector. Digital transformations should help unify leading minds across disciplines in a concerted effort to pilot generative AI applications, share knowledge, increase employee accessibility, mitigate risks, and champion digital transformation within the water sector.
This webcast will disseminate the intermittent results of WRF project 5321, The Role of Generative AI (GenAI) for the Global Water Sector. Key topics to be discussed in this webcast include:
Development and involvement of the Global Generative AI Utility Group (G3).
Establishing a foundational understanding of GenAI’s potential role.
Cultivating a common vocabulary to discuss GenAI
Describing to-date utility experimentation.
DC Water and Hampton Roads Sanitation District will provide their perspective on GenAI and applications within their utilities.
