In case you missed it, LR is set to become one of the first maritime organisations to use generative AI for permitting capabilities built upon Microsoft Azure OpenAI Service, to bridge the gap between terrestrial and maritime applications. The capabilities are designed to enhance the regulatory process for nuclear technology and will be used by LR to advance the deployment of nuclear in maritime applications. Mark Tipping, LR’s Global Offshore Power To X Director, said: "Collaborating with Microsoft provides us with an excellent opportunity to combine two very different areas of expertise, their AI capabilities and our vast history and knowledge of maritime and nuclear safety. "Together, we’re tackling one of the biggest challenges in deploying nuclear technology, which is navigating complex, slow, and costly licensing processes."
