Conversations at the intersection of energy, security, and public policy — hosted by Pioneer's leadership team.
Ep. 01
We are witnessing an unprecedented boom of AI today. While AI certainly has its benefits for the humanity, these can quickly be offset if the impact of AI on the four pillars - Reliability, Resilience, Affordability and the Environment is not managed well by the regulators and the utilities. Amongst these four, the minimizing the impact on reliability is the most important.
In the first of several episodes in the AI and Datacenter series, tune into WATTS THE POINT podcast host and Co-founder engage in a conversation with Elliot Roseman, President, Strategic Energy Advisors and Viresh Shah, Principal Advisor-Technology Consulting, Pioneer, LLC.
Datacenters are here to stay as they are critical to winning the battle of AI supremacy! It is also a reality that the datacenters place a burden on the society - in terms of impact on air, energy, water, land and other short-term phenomena! Beyond the impact, it is important to be cognizant of the additional stress these datacenters will place on the health systems in the community. Drawing a parallel from climate change, one can say that both mitigation and adaptation will be critical to ensuring a sustainable future for humanity.
