The conference will explore the synergies and conflicts between two of the most powerful megatrends currently shaping the global economy: Artificial Intelligence and the Energy Transition. The event will feature both corporate and institutional speakers, providing a comprehensive perspective on how AI is influencing the shift towards sustainable energy. Corporate speakers will share real-world use cases, focusing on how AI can help reduce energy impact and optimize energy consumption, as well as the role of AI in enhancing energy efficiency in industries like data centers.

A key topic will be the energy consumption of AI itself, discussing how AI technologies, while offering efficiency improvements, also pose significant challenges in terms of their own energy requirements. Additionally, the conference will touch on the distillation of AI processes, where strategies are explored to make AI models more energy-efficient by reducing computational overhead. Institutional speakers will shed light on policy frameworks and the role of AI in achieving global sustainability targets. Through this dual approach, the conference aims to foster dialogue on the integration of these megatrends, highlighting both the potential benefits and the challenges they present for industries worldwide.
