Description from the channel

As AI expands, can energy systems keep up with its growing demand for electricity? Featuring perspectives from the UK Department for Energy Security and Net Zero, Energy Unlocked, the International Energy Agency, Eaton and the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC), this workshop looks at the relationship between AI growth, data centres and energy consumption, and the role international standards can play in supporting more energy-efficient AI infrastructure. The session covers AI’s projected energy footprint and its implications for climate goals, alongside practical examples of how standards can support data centre efficiency, cooling systems, grid stability, renewable energy integration and power-system interoperability. It also considers the barriers facing emerging economies seeking to build AI infrastructure without locking in inefficiency.
