... , and the ­policy-making and regulatory community to discuss areas such as: • Trends, drivers, and trade-offs related to AI that have the poten tial to impact energy demands; • Application of AI tools to facilitate energy and water efficiency improvements in data centers; • Standardizing benchmarks and accounting methods for energy efficiency and carbon emissions within the Information Tech­ nology sector; • Trends in electricity markets, electrification, and options for all sectors to meet net-zero goals under increased demand for electricity; • Regional considerations related to data center siting and clean generation resource availability. The aim of the workshop is to understand how to map, measure, and mitigate the impacts of AI as they relate to data center electricity usage.
