The Applied AI for Energy Committee brings together energy companies, technology providers and AI specialists to work on the non-competitive technical challenges of using AI safely and at scale across the energy sector. It held its inaugural meeting in London on 15 October 2026.
Its first priorities are an AI governance framework for the sector, and a framework for AI evaluation, assurance and benchmarking.
Dan Jeavons, President of Applied Computing, has been appointed Chair of the Committee.
