AIxData Centers: Can AI Solve Its Own Power Crisis?

​By 2030, data centers could consume 11–12% of U.S. electricity—nearly half of Japan’s total power demand. Costs are rising, interconnect queues are swelling, and grids are straining.

​But AI may also be the best tool to solve the crunch. From algorithms that cut training compute, to AI-optimized cooling and intelligent grid management, founders are building solutions that can make AI more efficient, sustainable, and cost-effective.

​This panel brings together people from across the ecosystem to separate hype from deployable improvements and to ask how far software, infrastructure, and grid intelligence can realistically take us over the next 12–36 months?

Panelists:

• ​Jessica Alter, Venture Partner, Leap Forward Ventures

• ​Dr. Varun Sivaram, CEO, Emerald AI

• ​Lynn Smullen, SVP Strategic Partnerships and Pursuits, Oracle

• ​Heather McGeory, VP Sustainability, CoreWeave
