High voltage power lines run through the power grid on May 16, 2024 in West Palm Beach, Florida. The grid is strained by increased demand from power-hungry data centers and electric vehicles, disruptions due to severe weather,

Another AI conversation at the conference will focus on how the infrastructure can be built to power it all.

Shapiro noted that data centers are extremely important, but other products and the increased adoption of electric vehicles have created a challenge with having enough electricity available.

“These devices and electric cars We use a lot of electricity, and we don’t have it on the grid yet, so we have to start moving quickly,” he said. “That’s why there’s a focus on nuclear and wind and solar and hydrogen and even traditional oil. and gas and things like that.”
