Recent advancements in AI technologies and their integration into energy systems are reshaping the energy sector, offering several pathways to revolutionise how we produce, distribute, and consume energy. According to PwC, AI is projected to contribute up to US$15.7 trillion to the global economy by 2030, including up to US$320 billion in the Middle East.
By enhancing capabilities in areas such as energy exploration, storage, and efficiency, as well as pioneering predictive models and performance analysis, AI is enabling smarter decision-making and creating more resilient energy systems.
The ADIPEC AI Webinar brought together global energy leaders from Accenture, AIQ, and Baker Hughes to explore the promising potential of AI to drive economic and industrial transformation. The webinar provided valuable insights into how AI could optimise supply chains, improve efficiency, and reduce losses—helping to accelerate the energy transition.
