Artificial Intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing energy systems-empowering forecasting, optimization, and intelligent control-while simultaneously introducing new challenges, such as increased energy demands from large-scale AI infrastructure and concerns about
long-term sustainability and equity.</p>
