    The Role of Digital and AI in Accelerating the Innovation Cycle

    With the deepening need to both balance energy security and accelerate the energy transition, the need to lower costs and improve efficiencies is well understood. This session explores what role AI and broader forms of digitalization might play in accelerating these innovation cycles to drive operational efficiencies and increase safety. We'll discuss with industry leaders, technology leaders, and public policymakers how technology is improving productivity gains, key material discovery processes, more effective sourcing and qualifying new ideas, scaling new technologies and favorably impacting cost curves.
