Ofgem AI Reg Lab call for submissions

Our AI Reg Lab is a tabletop exercise that provides applicants with: 

• a valuable opportunity to test our current ethical AI use in the energy sector guidance and broader energy regulatory framework against their hypothetical or real AI uses
• the chance to explore the potential risks and impacts of their AI use
• a guided discussion of the regulatory implications of the AI use with an independent panel of AI and regulatory experts

Who should take part

Energy sector licensees (may apply together with their innovation partners).

How to take part

We welcome submissions on a rolling basis for future AI Reg Labs via our Ofgem AI Reg Lab submission form.

Next steps

• Successful applicants will be contacted by the Emerging Technologies team.
• To support transparency and shared learning, we will publish findings from each AI Reg Lab engagement.

It is important to note that acceptance into the AI Reg Lab does not constitute regulatory approval, nor does it imply Ofgem’s endorsement of any AI use.

For more information or support with your AI Reg Lab submission, please contact the Emerging Technologies team by emailing emergingtechnologies@ofgem.gov.uk.
