AI-driven dynamic load-shedding in mixed-income, high-density residential districts requires a documented Title VI equity determination before deployment, material modification, or continued operation under changed system conditions. The requirement applies when an algorithm ranks buildings, circuits, substations, or c...

Spatial-temporal transformers used for micro-mobility rebalancing fail in a distinctive way under compound stress. They do not simply lose accuracy as demand rises or weather becomes less predictable. Instead, they can preserve the appearance of coherent forecasts while misallocating vehicles, charging capacity, and ma...
