Wassim Ghadban, Senior Vice President of Digital and Innovation, will join the AI Leadership Roundtable 'Artificial Intelligence (AI) and sustainability: saviour or energy hog?' at ADIPEC 2025 on Tuesday, 4 November at 11:30 GST. The session will address AI’s central paradox in the energy sector, where its analytical power is driving efficiencies that enable renewable integration, grid resilience and emission reductions, while at the same time creating rapidly rising energy demand. Wassim will contribute to discussions on how AI can deliver net-positive outcomes by cutting global greenhouse gas emissions through applications such as predictive maintenance, smart load balancing and accelerated clean energy permitting. He will also explore the urgent challenge of balancing AI’s climate benefits against the projected surge in electricity consumption, debating the investment, regulatory and technological innovations needed to ensure AI becomes an enabler of sustainability rather than an obstacle.
