Artificial intelligence is changing how we live, but it also represents an enormous strain on an already taxed energy grid. Learn what role each of us can play in the simultaneous clean energy and AI revolutions. This discussion, with Michael Webber and Javad Mohammadi of the Cockrell School of Engineering and others, will explore key challenges and opportunities for the state and its tech and power sectors, as well as whether a new energy policy may be needed to meet the tremendous and unique power demands of AI. Participants will learn what role AI itself may play in addressing the challenges of grid reliability, cybersecurity and fair energy distribution across urban and rural areas throughout Texas.
Register for this and other sessions happening throughout the three-day Planet Texas 2050 annual symposium, which explores diverse and intersecting aspects of resilience. Presenters from multiple universities representing more than 20 academic disciplines will be joined by practitioners and community-based leaders from Austin and beyond.
