This intriguing panel unites two pivotal themes in geothermal innovation: the deployment of AI to accelerate adoption, education, and operational insight, and the use of high-performance computing (HPC) for advanced geothermal modeling and simulation. Participants will come away with a comprehensive understanding of how AI and HPC can collaboratively drive geothermal energy forwardboth in terms of broad adoption and deep system understanding. The panel will discuss practical examples, highlight emerging tools like digital twins, and promote dialogue on overcoming current limitations.
