Issue Energy for AI and AI for energy, including digital environmental impact assessment

Summary

Under the banner of energy for AI and AI for energy, the report links the two transitions in both directions. AI infrastructure would be concentrated in regions with surplus carbon-free energy, and energy supply regulations rationalised. AI technologies would be used to build intelligent systems for energy generation, transmission, distribution and consumption, raising efficiency across the energy ecosystem. Environmental impact assessment would move to a digital system based on AI and big data. The goal is data-driven decision making, more efficient assessment and more accurate prediction of environmental effects.
