A strong digital backbone is the key to success in the industrial AI revolution. 🦾
At Clean Energy Council’s , our local CEO Peter Halliday was on a panel discussion moderated by Sam Lynch from Kraken and joined by Stefan Hajkowicz from CSIRO and Daniel Austin from ETU - The Electrical Trades Union exploring ’s influence on operations, infrastructure and workforce capability in the clean energy sector.
As Peter noted, a strong digital backbone is what determines whether AI delivers in energy operations. Getting the underlying systems, data, and connectivity right isn't optional, it's the foundation everything else depends on.
That kind of foundation doesn't get built by one organisation alone. The panel itself showed what's needed: industry, research, and the workforce in the same room, working through the common challenges.
The work happening now will define what's possible at scale.
