Spot the fire in the data': The future of energy analytics and AI
Discover the visual data science approach, creating data-driven insights from complex data for all intensive industries.

Discover the visual data science approach, creating data-driven insights from complex data for all intensive industries.
With the energy and utilities sectors exposed to rapid transformation due to factors like decarbonisation, regulatory pressures, and digitalisation, Spotfire Chief Analytics Officer, Michael O'Connell, unpacks how Visual Data Science and Gen-AI act as enablers in this context.
"Energy and manufacturing customers and products, produce a lot of data. So visual data science is about visual first analysis of those data to understand or identify insights. Often we call it "spot the fire in the data", explains O'Connell.
In this exclusive video interview, we learn how artificial intelligence (AI), like generative AI, is transforming the energy landscape.
