AI is one of the most energy-hungry technologies ever built. It’s also one of the most powerful tools we have to fight climate change. Both things are true.
At YPE LA’s Climate Week panel, we’re not shying away from the contradiction. From the carbon footprint of your daily AI use, to how companies like Verv are deploying AI to slash energy waste in buildings, to what federal energy policy looks like in a post-Biden world — we’re unpacking the full picture.
Whether you work in energy, tech, climate, or just want to understand what AI actually means for the planet, this panel is for you.
Featuring perspectives from academia, government, and industry — Rachit Dubey (UCLA), Gene Rodrigues (Former U.S. Assistant Secretary of Energy), and Derek Stoops (Verv) — this is the conversation the climate community needs to have right now.
