AI is moving faster than anyone could have imagined. The demand for compute and data centers is underestimating what is ahead. AI's transformational potential across every aspect of society is fundamentally governed by POWER. Where is it, where can it be built, on what timeframe, harnessing what resources and at what cost. Fenn will explore upending the traditional location analysis paradigm, grid reliability at gigawatt scale and if AI will solve climate change or accelerate it.
