How can AI help the energy transition? Can the dramatic advances in artificial intelligence reshaping all our lives be mobilized to accelerate the transition to clean, low-carbon energy? Or, will the growing power demand for AI perpetuate traditional energy sources and increase emissions?
The Columbia University Committee on Global Thought and the Center on Global Energy Policy at Columbia University SIPA will convene leading experts for a conversation exploring ways that artificial intelligence can help accelerate the energy transition in ways both incremental and transformational, producing secure, reliable, sustainable and low-carbon energy solutions. The event will feature a high-level panel discussion hosted by Adam Tooze, Chair of the CU Committee on Global Thought, and featuring Rayyan Islam, Co-Founder and General Partner of 8090 Industries, Bernice Lee, Distinguished Fellow and Senior Advisor, Chatham House, Heather McGeory, Vice President, Sustainability, CoreWeave, and David Sandalow, CGEP Inaugural Fellow.
