How AI Can Accelerate the Energy Transition
As climate pressures, aging assets, and urbanization strain global infrastructure, artificial intelligence is emerging as a strategic tool to build more resilient, efficient, and adaptive systems. In the power sector, decades of investment in sensors, communications, and software have created a wealth of data—but most remains siloed or underused. As cloud capabilities scale, compute costs fall, and digital programs mature, AI is becoming a true inflection point for utilities and energy leaders alike.
