The massive data centres that provide AI’s computational power will need to increase in number, which will result in a spike in energy demand. But the benefits that AI promises to bring to the energy transition could result in a net-positive for both the power system and the climate, if the right policies and framework are put in place. Peter Weckesser, chief digital officer at Schneider Electric, joins the show to explain how artificial intelligence should be harnessed, how we should manage the risks linked to its usage and what the energy transition stands to gain.
