A groundbreaking white paper published by the UK Water Partnership (UKWP) in collaboration with data and AI engineering firm Aiimi highlights how artificial intelligence (AI) is poised to revolutionise the water industry. Titled “AI Within Reach”, the paper offers an urgent but optimistic roadmap for deploying AI to tackle critical challenges, from climate change to customer affordability. As the industry enters AMP8, companies face mounting pressure to deliver ambitious capital programmes, respond to climate change, and improve resilience – all while maintaining affordability for customers. AI presents a critical opportunity to help achieve these goals, but without coordinated action, much of its potential may remain untapped.
