Today’s episode is part of our new sponsored series called “AI is Here,” where we will speak with AI experts across industries and ask them where AI is impacting their industry today and what that means for the future. In this first episode, we’re exploring the energy sector by speaking to an AI expert at one of the world’s largest energy firms: Shell. Today’s guest is Dan Jeavons, VP of Computational Science, Digital Innovation, and IT. In this episode, Dan speaks about leveraging AI to simulate the operations of an energy firm to achieve better business and sustainability outcomes. He also paints a picture of the world we’re headed into, one with a more distributed energy ecosystem where the environment is an even more important consideration for energy firms. This special episode is brought to you by SambaNova Systems. SambaNova believes that AI is here, and we’ve partnered with them to bring you AI trends and impacts affecting different industries today in this new Wednesday series.
