As we kick off 2026, the intersection of AI and energy has never been more critical. We are excited to remind the community about our upcoming Virtual Special Issue in the INFORMS Journal on Data Science: "The Dual Edge of AI: Catalyzing and Challenging the Future of Energy Systems."
AI is a powerful catalyst for grid resilience and optimization, yet its own energy footprint remains a significant challenge. We are looking for high-impact research that addresses this duality, including:
-
AI for Operations: Optimization, forecasting, and grid security.
-
AI as a Stressor: Impacts of large-scale ML workloads on grid stability.
-
Sustainable AI: Energy-aware model design and "Green AI."
Submission Deadline: May 1, 2026
Join us in defining how data science can balance innovation with sustainability.
