Energy expert Amy Myers Jaffe returns to EvC to chat with Ed about Energy and Artificial Intelligence. 

Nearly every aspect of the economy seems to be impacted by the stunningly rapid development of AI. Energy is no exception. Ed and Amy have a wide-ranging discussion that covers a lot of ground and touches on several hot topics, including: 

• How AI is transforming the production, distribution, and consumption of energy; 
• The energy needs of data centers; 
• Whether or not AI is an asset or liability for the clean energy economy; 
• The role of tech companies; 
• The geopolitics of AI; 
• Security vulnerabilities created by increasingly AI-dependent energy infrastructure; 
• And Canada-US relations.
