AI in Critical Infrastructure
From Experimentation to Autonomous Energy Systems
The UK’s leading event for senior energy and utilities leaders focused on operationalising AI at scale - from the creators of London Tech Week.
What Is AI in Critical Infrastructure and Why Now?
In 2026, at AI in Critical Infrastructure, the question is: how do we move from AI as a tool to AI as an operating model?The energy and utilities sector is entering a critical AI inflection point. Leaders are now deploying AI agents to optimise energy grids, predict equipment failures, and manage demand in real time. AI is no longer just enhancing workflows but is transforming the way energy systems operate, enabling autonomous decision-making and driving sustainability goals.
AI in Critical Infrastructure 2026 brings together those leading this change to explore what the AI-native energy organisation looks like, how to scale systems rather than pilots, and where AI is already transforming decision-making across the sector.
