Tomas Karger: Author Highlights And Key Takeaways From This Year's AI Report

Following the launch of Marks & Clerk's fourth AI Report, Partner and Energy & Environment specialist, Tomas Karger, shared his insights on the rapidly developing role AI has to play in the energy transition. Here are the key highlights from his discussion:

• The energy sector is under unprecedented pressure to transition from conventional energy sources to low and zero-carbon technologies, driven by the Paris Agreement and net-zero targets. This transition requires rapid innovation and the adoption of new technologies in a traditionally risk-averse industry, where large infrastructure projects demand significant time and investment.
• While green AI patent filings are generally increasing, there's an interesting disparity across different renewable energy sectors, with fuel cells, biofuels, and solar leading in terms of green AI patent publications. Other crucial technologies like wind, hydro, and geothermal are showing relatively lower filing numbers. This may
