In this episode of 'Lexicon,' Al Eliasen, President of Spatial Business Systems, discusses how automation and AI are revolutionizing the utility sector by transforming utilities into data-driven entities. He highlights that traditional methods are becoming obsolete, and automation helps streamline processes, reduce errors, and enhance efficiency.
