Panel: Artificial intelligence and the energy addition challenge

Powering artificial intelligence (AI) requires massive amounts of additional electricity and a major expansion of generation and delivery infrastructure. Meeting the challenge of unprecedented energy demand from AI will be a defining challenge of this decade, compounded by rising energy demand from electrification and revitalized industrial growth. This panel examines the full range of potential solutions—and asks the harder question: which policy, technology, and investment solutions can deliver power in the most efficient, secure, and cost-effective way as the AI-economy grows?
