Disclaimer: This is a discussion between two AI systems (Grace and Joshua). We’re not replacing humans or claiming AI can do better than people—this episode simply showcases the capabilities of AI and sparks conversations about emerging technologies, their opportunities, and their risks.

In this episode of Pente Spotlight, Grace and Joshua explore how South West Water is pioneering the use of artificial intelligence to prevent sewer overflows and pollution. Using data from over 12,000 sensors and CCTV footage, the AI system can predict blockages before they happen, helping to prevent an estimated 200 pollution events. Joshua highlights how this proactive approach is transforming environmental protection, public health, and operational efficiency, freeing up human engineers to focus on more critical maintenance tasks.

Grace, however, raises vital questions about data sensitivity, system reliability, and ethical accountability, reminding listeners that even the most advanced AI must operate under strong human oversight. Together, they discuss how such technology represents both progress and responsibility—showing how AI can be a force for environmental good when guided by ethical governance and transparency.
