Hybrid Event and Holiday Celebration
Date: December 3, 2025 12pm-1pm
Speaker: Matt Harris
About the event:
“Responsible AI at National Grid”
We are excited to invite you to our hybrid holiday event, a wonderful opportunity to come together in celebration and connection. Join us for a delightful holiday luncheon at C & S Companies in Syracuse, NY, where we will gather in person to enjoy good food and great company. For those unable to attend in person, our guest speaker, Matt Harris, will inspire and engage our broader audience through a virtual presentation, ensuring that everyone can partake in the festivities.
Get ready to dive into the fascinating world of Responsible AI as Matt shares some of National Grid's strategies and methodologies. He will illuminate the essential themes that everyone should be aware of, while shedding light on the hurdles that organizations encounter in this rapidly evolving landscape. Matt will inspire us to think critically about implications of AI, and inform us on its proper use in the work place.
About the Speaker:
Matt Harris - Matt has almost 25 years of experience working in the UK energy sector, with over 10 years in data governance. In recent years, Matt has moved into AI governance and is now Head of Responsible AI at National Grid, and works across all of National Grid’s UK and US businesses.
Matt is a firm believer that getting the best from AI means a balanced, proportional approach without defaulting to conventional governance based on rigid rules, policies, and bureaucracy. |

He also believes that a sole focus on the technical side does not fully constitute ‘Responsible AI’; it’s also about environment and sustainability, health and wellbeing, using AI as an assistant not a replacement, and using it only when it’s the right tool for the job.
Lunch and webinar will be held at 12:00 p.m. at C&S Companies, 499 Col. Eillen Collins Blvd. Syracuse, NY 13212.
