OVERVIEW

Artificial intelligence is reshaping every corner of the energy industry — from predictive maintenance on pipelines to algorithmic trading in power markets. For in-house counsel, this transformation raises urgent questions: What liability frameworks apply when AI systems make consequential decisions? How should contracts address AI-generated outputs? And how can legal teams harness AI themselves to work smarter and faster?

This session equips energy lawyers with a practical understanding of where AI is being deployed across the sector and what that means for their day-to-day legal responsibilities.
