Plenary: AI at Scale: Energy, Water, and the Infrastructure of Intelligence

​Artificial intelligence is transforming the economy — and reshaping physical infrastructure in the process. From grid demand and clean power procurement to water use and data center construction, AI’s footprint is rapidly expanding. How do we scale intelligence without scaling environmental impact? This session brings together leaders across energy, policy, and technology to examine the real resource implications of AI and the pathways to sustainable compute.
