Dr. Volodymyr Kindratenko, Director of the Center for Artificial Intelligence, recently participated in an event sponsored by SmithGroup’s Science & Technology and Climate Change specialists along with other AI experts, researchers and energy authorities to explore revolutionizing research environments, influencing energy consumption and driving the need for innovative energy generation solutions, all while supporting global decarbonization efforts.
At this conference they discussed the rapid evolution of Artificial Intelligence and how it will reshape research as we know it. Their goal was to propose ideas on how we can anticipate and guide what this means for our research environments and the expanded energy capacity that AI demands.
Takeaways from this dialogue include:
Leveraging AI to enhance utility services and democratize information can lead to significant cost savings for consumers, creating a win-win scenario. However, self-interests and a lack of trust are major obstacles to the adoption of AI-driven energy solutions. Circular energy systems, which convert waste into energy, offer a promising approach. Additionally, new value-based regulatory frameworks will incentivize and responsibly manage the integration of AI in the energy sector.
