Can AI Help Us Speed Up the Energy Transition?

As machine learning models evolve and artificial intelligence becomes increasingly entrenched in society, the energy sector is also taking early steps to leverage this technology. The International Energy Agency reports that AI already serves over 50 diverse applications within the energy system, potentially reaching a market value of $13 billion. This raises crucial questions: From optimizing renewable energy integration to predicting maintenance needs, what are the potential uses of AI across our power systems? How can we foster AI capacity building in developing nations to ensure an inclusive, equitable and sustainable energy future? And given the computing power these algorithms need, how can we create (truly) energy-efficient AI solutions?
