Infra Dig – Henri Yoki of Exaum on AI in infra

This latest episode of the Infra Dig podcast sees IJGlobal content director Angus Leslie Melville pull up a seat to the fireside to discuss artificial intelligence and its role in infrastructure and energy.

The guest on this podcast is Henri Yoki – founder and chief executive of Exaum Ltd – an interesting organisation that recently announced the launch of its 1MW AI-optimised grid balancing pilot, the latest step in scaling its heat-generation-based power demand response technology.

The pilot has been installed at Karhulan Industrial Park, 130km east of Helsinki. 

This first-of-its-kind system aims to help enable the green energy transition by providing near-instantaneous grid balancing of power as more wind, solar, and other green but unpredictable sources are added to the transmission system operator’s supply choices.

In this podcast, Henri fields question on this pilot project in Finland as well as a host of question on the impact of AI on the broader infrastructure / energy community.
