Governments have an opportunity to accelerate the energy transition by crafting standards and policies that harness the capabilities of AI and help ensure alignment with sustainability outcomes as well as its safe, secure and responsible use. 07 Advance policy and governance for responsible, sustainable AI and a secure and inclusive transformation to a net-zero energy system Enhanced reporting protocols Policies that encourage and leverage AI and digital tools for energy and environmental-related reporting can enhance accuracy, reduce costs and quickly adapt to shifts and differences in metrics and accounting. Frameworks and policies for AI in the energy sector It will be important to develop thoughtful standards and policy frameworks that govern the use of AI in the energy sector, ensuring compliance with existing energy laws, safety standards, and environmental regulations, following industry best practices for AI and implement government-led AI safety standards and policies. Greater collaboration Facilitate collaboration and partnerships among companies, AI researchers, scientists, and policymakers by creating a regulatory sandbox to address sustainability challenges collaboratively and by funding interdisciplinary projects that combine AI expertise with policy, sustainability, and social justice. 102 Powering Possible 101
