Powering the AI Revolution
9:45 AM – 10:25 AM Tuesday June 3, 2025
Securing America’s edge in artificial intelligence will require massive computational power—and the infrastructure to support it. Yet America’s energy generation, transmission, and regulatory frameworks already struggle to keep pace with AI demand. At the same time, nations with abundant energy and capital, like those around the Gulf, are becoming increasingly attractive hubs for large-scale computing infrastructure. This session will examine specific reforms to close America’s AI energy gap and the strategic implications of failing to do so.
