- **Event Name**: FRIDAY NIGHT AI: “AI & Energy: Balancing Power and Sustainability"”
- **Event Start and End Date**: Fri, 13 Mar, 2026 at 06:30 pm
- **Event Description**: Artificial intelligence is emerging as a powerful tool, but training and deploying large #AI models requires vast computational resources and significant amounts of electricity, raising concerns about air pollution, water consumption, and the long-term energy footprint of AI itself. 

How can we harness AI’s benefits while avoiding the escalating costs of running increasingly large systems? 

Join us for our next Friday Night AI, a Q&amp;A panel with U-M experts in AI and energy as we explore how to balance innovation with environmental responsibility.
