# New York PSC Requires Utilities to Disclose AI Use

New York's Public Service Commission (PSC), chaired by Rory Christian, has initiated a regulatory requirement mandating utilities to disclose their use of artificial intelligence (AI) in managing the electric grid. This action responds to increasing cybersecurity concerns following recent AI system malfunctions and cyberattacks affecting critical infrastructure. The PSC's move aims to enhance oversight and transparency of AI integration within utility operations to safeguard grid reliability and security.

- Utilities operating in New York must prepare to provide detailed disclosures on AI applications in grid management, impacting procurement and technology deployment strategies.
- Procurement professionals should anticipate increased demand for AI systems with robust cybersecurity features and compliance documentation.
- Vendors offering AI solutions for utilities may need to adapt products to meet regulatory transparency and security standards.
- This development signals a growing trend of regulatory scrutiny on AI use in critical infrastructure, influencing future contract requirements and risk assessments.
