Lloyd’s Register has announced that it is to work with Microsoft to deploy generative AI to improve regulatory processes and advance the deployment of nuclear technology in maritime applications.
The project infrastructure will be built on Microsoft’s Azure OpenAI Service, using its AI capabilities to analyse historical nuclear licensing data and assist licensing engineers in drafting new permitting documents more efficiently.
The system will also allow for faster searches of regulations and precedents within large regulatory datasets, to streamline licensing processes and reduce costs.
“Regulations shouldn’t be a roadblock to innovation—they should be a launchpad,” said Lloyd’s Register’s Deputy Chief Technology and Innovation Officer Jeff Scott.
“By teaming up with Microsoft, we’re using AI to cut through the red tape and fast-track the future of nuclear in maritime. It’s an exciting step toward making clean energy a reality on the water.”
