Council Post: The Role Of AI In Carbon Reduction And Increased Efficiency For Energy

AJ Abdallat is CEO of Beyond Limits, the leader in artificial intelligence and cognitive computing. Our world has reached a point where society recognizes the planet is under stress, with energy and technology sectors at the forefront of this reckoning. Microsoft, in association with PwC, revealed the urgency of the challenges currently facing our planet, reporting that 91% of people don't live in standard air quality-controlled areas, 60% of biodiversity has been lost since 1970, and greenhouse gases are at their highest levels in 3 million years. To get ahead of these challenges, we must reduce carbon footprints. AI will play a crucial role in supporting the energy industry's goals of achieving a more efficient, connected and sustainable future.
