Panel. AI and energy — driving efficiency and action in real life

Artificial intelligence is both a burden and a potential solution for the energy transition. On one hand, its voracious appetite for electricity risks driving up demand and emissions, particularly if powered by fossil-heavy grids. On the other, AI can also help clean up its own footprint—by optimising energy use, managing grids more efficiently, forecasting demand, and enabling greater integration of renewables. What does responsible, low-carbon AI deployment look like? How are data centres reducing their footprint and sourcing green electrons? And to what extent can AI’s own tools—such as advanced grid and system management—turn the technology from part of the problem into part of the solution?
