Energy AI Talk: The era of AI: advancing the UAE's 2031 vision for a sustainable future

The UAE’s "National Strategy for Artificial Intelligence 2031" outlines a vision to become a global leader in AI, targeting key sectors that will drive the country’s economic and social development. Central to this vision is the energy sector, which plays a pivotal role in achieving the UAE’s long-term economic and environmental objectives.

In the energy sector, AI is key to transforming operations and accelerating the transition to a more efficient, sustainable future. AI applications, such as smart grid management, predictive maintenance, and renewable energy forecasting, are helping the UAE optimise its energy resources while enhancing security and reducing environmental impact.

In this Energy AI Talk, Dr. Samuel and Dr. Qirong from MBZUAI, will explore how investing in talent, technology, and infrastructure is key to integrating AI into energy production, driving innovation, and achieving the UAE's AI 2031 vision and the country’s broader sustainability goals.
