Panel 13 - Energy Resilience & AI Climate Adaptation
Wednesday 23 September, 11:30 – 12:10Panel StageTwo very different things get called climate AI: predicting and pricing risk, and keeping physical systems running when the weather breaks them. This panel holds both and stays honest about which is which. What hazard models can actually forecast at asset level, what insurers and investors will underwrite on the back of it, and what happens when AI's own compute becomes one of the fastest growing loads on the same grid everyone is trying to protect.
