The World Economic Forum whitepaper explores how artificial intelligence can accelerate the energy transition to a low-carbon economy. AI supports renewable integration, grid optimization, demand management, and materials innovation, helping to reduce emissions and system costs. Key applications include forecasting renewable output, managing distributed energy resources, and enabling virtual power plants. The paper proposes nine “AI for energy transition” principles covering risk management, data sharing, sustainability, and responsible AI use. It calls for collaboration among governments, industry, and technology developers to scale AI safely and effectively.
