   (AI) continues to transform the United States and the world. To promote and inform rapid advancements in AI and maintain 
  
  America’s global competitiveness, the Special Competitive Studies Project (SCSP), a nonprofit and nonpartisan initiative 
  
  with a goal of making recommendations to strengthen America's long-term competitiveness in AI, announces the AI+ Summit 
  
  Series. 
  
  The series kicks off with the topic of energy. The AI + Energy Summit, scheduled for September 26, 2024, in Washington, 
  
  D.C., will bring together policy makers, energy industry leaders, top government and academic energy researchers, and 
  
  technologists to address the challenges of AI’s energy consumption and develop solutions for a resilient and abundant 
  
  energy future. The event also aims to address the implications of AI and energy for national security and promote 
  
  partnerships between AI and energy stakeholders. 
  
  AI and other emerging technologies can help the United States take the lead in energy areas including maximizing energy 
  
  efficiencies, discovering new materials, and enabling new forms of power generation. AI also has a role to play in 
  
  overcoming energy challenges. The Department of Energy (DOE) already uses AI in several areas including advanced 
  
  computing, emergency response, environmental modeling, climate forecasting, and materials research.
