Energy
⚡ AI Is Quietly Rewiring the Power Grid

The Bite:
Electricity bills have been climbing everywhere. We all know that.

Meanwhile, power grids are under pressure as renewables replace fossil fuels.

Wind and solar are cheaper, but harder to predict.
That's where AI steps in as the control system.

It helps grids forecast supply, manage demand, and avoid expensive failures.

It’s about software making today’s electricity system work better, cheaper, and more reliably as energy sources change.

Snacks:

• AI predicts wind and solar output using weather + historical data

• Belgium’s grid operator cut forecast errors by 41% using AI

• AI systems shift EV charging and building energy use to cheaper hours

• Companies can avoid expensive demand spikes that drive prices up

• AI can detect faults and reroute power before outages spread

Why it Bites:
Most people don’t care how the grid works.
They care why their bill keeps going up.

AI doesn’t magically make electricity free, but it can:

• reduce waste,

• smooth price spikes,

• and make renewables easier to run at scale.

If it works as intended, perhaps cleaner energy and cheaper bills can happen at the same time.

The real test? Whether those savings actually make it to consumers,

or get absorbed by companies, as they usually do.

AI
🤖 ‘Influencers’ Are Pushing Politics

The Bite:
AI-generated videos showing young, attractive women have been circulating on social media, promoting Poland’s exit from the European Union.

The people don’t exist. The messages are political. And the targeting is intentional.

These videos are designed to feel casual and relatable; more influencer content than propaganda.

But behind the aesthetics is a clear use of AI to shape political opinion at scale, largely slipping past platform safeguards.

Still, there is no one to hold accountable.

Snacks:

• The women in the videos are AI-generated, not real people

• Content appeared across major social networks before being flagged

• Messages promote Poland leaving the EU ahead of key political moments

• The format mirrors influencer culture and targeted users aged 15-25

• Existing platform rules struggled to catch the content quickly

Why it bites:
This is how easy it’s becoming to flood social feeds with persuasive political content that looks human, feels authentic, and costs almost nothing to produce.

AI didn’t invent propaganda; it just made it faster, prettier, and harder to trace.

So what?

If platforms start taking responsibility for what they amplify,

and regulation catch up and we have a real person linked to each account,

and users learn to question what they’re seeing,

perhaps we can see the light. Otherwise, this will keep happening.

This is already the playbook.
