AI Runs on Power: The Energy Challenge Behind the Next Compute Revolution

Artificial intelligence is rapidly becoming the defining infrastructure of the 21st century. But as AI models scale and data centers multiply, a new constraint is emerging: power. AI infrastructure is transforming power demand, creating highly dynamic loads and pushing grids to their limits. This fireside chat explores how next-generation energy technologies can dramatically improve the energy efficiency of AI infrastructure. It will discuss how energy innovation will shape the future of compute, and why power, not chips, may be the real bottleneck of the AI era.
