The use of artificial intelligence, or AI, is growing at lightning speed, and we need a tremendous amount of energy to meet the current and future demands AI presents. However, our current electric grid wasn’t built for this kind of demand. Building new power sources carries a hefty price tag. It can also take years.
So how do we keep up?
There’s a powerful tool already at our fingertips: AI itself! AI can make the grid smarter, more efficient, and more reliable by predicting when equipment might fail, helping to prevent blackouts during extreme weather events, and keeping the power flowing smoothly, as electricity use goes up and down.
What happens when AI is involved in the grid?
We get a grid that’s more reliable! A better-preserved grid also means AI is self-reinforcing its own existence. A reliable grid enables delivery of the energy needed to fuel AI systems, data centers, and other critical infrastructure, while keeping the lights on for the rest of us.
In this installment of Argonne’s OutLoud Public Lecture Series, our scientists will explore how AI and the grid are working together, and how our research is helping to make our energy future stronger, smarter, and more secure.
Join us for a fascinating conversation on how Argonne’s work is helping the U.S. meet the energy demands of today—and tomorrow.
