Responsible AI: Building Trust and Accountability in the Energy Sector

As energy companies embrace AI pilots and deployments, success increasingly depends on trust—not just in the innovation, but in its safe integration. In this session, Hari Vamadevan, Senior Vice President and Regional Director, Energy Systems UK and Ireland at DNV, presents a case for structured AI assurance as a cornerstone of operational resilience.

Rather than focusing solely on the speed of scaling, Hari shares DNV’s approach to building an evidence-based assurance framework. By treating AI safety with the same rigor that has long underpinned physical assets in the energy industry, DNV has created a foundation that enables operators to move from a reactive stance to proactive risk management.

“AI is poised to create new efficiencies, insights and decision making capabilities. But we must look before we leap. You cannot make a leap of faith with an AI system.”
