Powering Progress: Government Perspectives on Achieving Balance in AI Adoption for Energy and Manufacturing

The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies into energy and manufacturing sectors holds immense promise for driving efficiency, innovation, and sustainability. However, the journey towards leveraging AI in these critical industries requires careful navigation of regulatory, ethical, and economic considerations.


This panel will explore the diverse perspectives of government stakeholders on striking the right balance in AI adoption within the energy and manufacturing domains. From optimizing production processes to enhancing grid management and supply chain resilience, panelists will share insights into the challenges, opportunities, and regulatory frameworks shaping AI implementation.


Join us for an illuminating discussion on how governments can facilitate responsible AI deployment while fostering competitiveness, sustainability, and equitable outcomes in energy and manufacturing sectors.
