Tension is building in the world of artificial intelligence. AI is enabling a multitude of solutions across power, industry, and transportation. But AI energy demands are increasingly stressing the electric grid — creating a bottleneck for growth and new challenges for clean energy supply.
The mounting tension highlights the need for an energy-first approach to computing.
Developer Crusoe is building AI infrastructure that takes advantage of clean energy to power workloads for AI modeling. Likewise, Nvidia, Crusoe’s primary GPU supplier, has been consistently improving the energy efficiency of its GPUs. Both demonstrate the innovation that’s happening in the marketplace to create a ‘climate-aligned cloud’ for customers.
As the data center sector experiences rapid growth, how do we unlock new models for clean, high-intensity computing?
In this Frontier Forum, we’re exploring multiple sides of the AI-energy nexus: the power demand challenge, new strategies for data center development, the opportunity for training AI solutions more sustainably — and ultimately how utilities, IPPs, and energy companies can utilize AI to be more efficient and enable the energy transition.
Companies like Crusoe are taking a holistic approach to the problem by leveraging clean or wasted resources, designing AI infrastructure for energy optimization, and developing cloud solutions for customers seeking climate-aligned computing.
This forum will tackle pressing questions facing the industry: What are best practices for tapping stranded energy for computing? What are the optimal solutions for data center design? How can enterprise energy companies utilize AI and stay aligned with their climate and energy goals? And what advancements can AI enable in the energy system?
