Artificial Intelligence Is Improving Energy Companies -- Not Replacing Workers

Abbreviation is Artificial Intelligence on a digital globe background. A power plant that will run on "artificial intelligence" is about to get underway in West Africa. The joint venture between Swiss-based Xcell Security House and Finance and U.S.-based Beyond Limits will embed intelligence and awareness into the operations -- something that will create more efficiencies, greater productivity, and increased environmental protections. When ordinary people hear about artificial intelligence -- AI for short -- they immediately think about how machines will replace humans. But as the experts explained to this reporter, AI is meant to eliminate "mundane activities" so that those running heavy industrial operations can solve problems and improve performance, which translates into healthier bottom lines.
