From Olympic Trials Swimmer To AI Founder, Kaitlyn Albertoli's Mission To Protect Critical Infrastructure

Episode notes

What Happens When AI Starts Protecting the Power Grid Before Humans Even Spot the Problem? In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I speak with Kaitlyn Albertoli, co-founder and CEO of Buzz Solutions, about how AI, drones, and computer vision are changing the way utilities inspect and maintain power infrastructure. As weather events become more frequent and energy demand continues to rise from EV adoption, renewable energy growth, and AI-driven data centers, utilities are under growing pressure to modernize systems that were built decades ago. Kaitlyn explains how utilities once relied on crews walking transmission lines with binoculars and handwritten notes before moving toward helicopter inspections and aerial imaging. Today, autonomous drones and aircraft can capture hundreds of thousands of inspection images every year. The real challenge now is turning that mountain of visual data into useful action before damaged equipment leads to outages, fires, or safety risks.
