S Karthik Mukkavilli, Group Head of AI at Mercuria, explores how artificial intelligence is transforming the global energy landscape. With solar and wind energy growing faster than ever, AI helps balance intermittent renewable sources, optimize energy grids, and predict fluctuations with advanced climate and energy simulations.

Karthik highlights how improvements in solar efficiency and falling costs make renewables highly competitive, but integrating them at scale requires smarter management and predictive modeling. He also emphasizes the exciting movement of “AI for good”, applying machine learning to tackle climate and energy challenges alongside traditional applications like autonomous systems.

By combining AI and renewable energy, we can accelerate the transition to a low-carbon, sustainable future, reduce risks, and maximize efficiency. This conversation is a must-watch for energy professionals, AI researchers, and sustainability innovators.
