Delegate for the Ecological Transition, Directorate General for Entreprise
France
The world's net-zero ambitions are facing significant headwinds. This session examines whether artificial intelligence can provide the much-needed boost to get the energy transition back on track. We'll explore how AI-driven solutions can optimize energy systems, accelerate the adoption of renewables, and potentially offer pathways to more equitable and accessible energy solutions in the global south. Against the backdrop of policy debates, energy sovereignty concerns, and geopolitical risks (like U.S. elections), we'll critically assess AI's potential to overcome current obstacles and ensure a just and sustainable energy future.
