AI Leadership Roundtables

Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly reshaping the global energy sector, offering transformative benefits while introducing complex challenges. AI is expected to deliver enhanced energy efficiency and optimisation, play a key role in grid modernisation and resilience, and scale energy efficiency across sectors.

However, AI-related electricity consumption is driving rising energy demand, exacerbating infrastructure strain, and introducing new vulnerabilities to cyberattacks and data security. Ultimately, the net impact of AI on the global energy system depends on how the sector manages these trade-offs as adoption accelerates.

Creating a pragmatic path toward an AI-optimised global energy system requires strategic investment in energy-efficient AI technologies and infrastructure, collaborative cross-sector knowledge sharing, robust cybersecurity frameworks, skills-centric workforce development programmes, and a continuous improvement mindset across the global energy ecosystem.

Held under the Chatham House Rule and by exclusive invitation, the ADIPEC AI Leadership Roundtables will explore practical applications, investment strategies, governance frameworks, regulatory considerations, and the actionable solutions needed to unlock AI’s potential for advancing energy transformation and strengthening clean energy supply.
