Why the energy transition increasingly depends on AI

Artificial intelligence (AI) is driving up electricity demand through data centres and advanced computing. Yet speakers at All-Energy argued that AI may also be essential for managing the increasingly complex, decentralised energy systems needed to achieve net zero, writes Kristy Jooste, Senior Content Officer, Energy Institute.
