We can no longer have an AI conversation without it being a Data Center conversation; we can no longer have a Data Center conversation without it being an energy conversation. The single largest determinant of AI's future and of consumer and enterprise uptake is the ability of AI players to power their ambitions, with clean and abundant power. This panel will cover the promise of Nuclear power to fill that need- both from the perspective of what is available now (fission), what is in the immediate future (SMRs and fusion test plants), and when we can expect the real prize- commercially viable fusion at scale.
