As artificial intelligence (AI) propels the economy into uncharted territory, a less visible but equally seismic shift is jolting the foundation beneath it: the US electric grid and the rules of who gets access to it. Once engineered for steel mills and ...

The emergence of new AI capabilities has prompted utilities to rethink their approach to change management and edge computing.

The software uses generative AI to analyze and carry out real-time analyses for grid operators. California's statewide power grid operator is poised to become the first in North America to deploy artificial intelligence to manage outages,

Google will also spend more than $3 billion to modernize two hydropower plants in Pennsylvania to help meet growing demand from data centers in the region.

Electricity bills are projected to surge by more than 20% this summer in some parts of PJM Interconnection's territory, which covers 13 states.

Artificial intelligence usage is outpacing internet growth, creating electricity demands that require data centers to consume enormous amounts of power

Why it’s so hard to make welfare AI fair. There are plenty of stories about AI that’s caused harm when deployed in sensitive situations, and in many of those cases, the system

Tech giants from Google to Meta to OpenAI are leading an AI data center boom. Some state electricity grids are better set to meet the massive power needs.

The massive data center threatens to overload the grid, but OpenAI's future relies on securing as much electricity as possible. What does that mean for local residents—and the planet?
