What should I look out for with AI in water management?
Water management is critical infrastructure: water boards and drinking water companies fall under the NIS2 rules (in the Netherlands, the Cyber Security Act), and an AI system that runs as a safety component in water management may count as high risk under the AI Act. So ask about certification, data storage and who keeps control during an outage. HULO is ISO 27001 certified, holds the SC30 NIS2 mark, stores data in the client's region and does not train on client data. TaKaDu (Spain) is ISO 27001 certified. KISTERS WISKI can run on-premise. With many other providers, such as Qatium, Siemens and FIDO Tech, the hosting location is not publicly stated: record it in the data processing agreement. Personal data mainly sits in consumption data from smart water meters; keep it separate from network data where possible.
