New podcast episode delves into evolving relationship between energy and AI

The latest episode of the IEA’s Everything Energy podcast examines what the complex and critical relationship between energy and artificial intelligence looks like in 2026 and how it could continue to evolve in the years ahead.

Now available on Apple Podcasts and Spotify, the episode features a conversation with Siddharth Singh and Thomas Spencer, the lead authors of a new IEA report on this subject. Based on the latest data and analysis, they discuss what has changed since they first appeared on the podcast to discuss energy and AI a year ago – from developments in AI technology and how it is used to the range of physical bottlenecks, including for energy, now constraining AI’s expansion and sparking a scramble for solutions.

The Everything Energy podcast offers insights and perspectives from the IEA on leading global energy issues. In recent episodes, IEA experts have unpacked a number of topics linked to the ongoing energy crisis stemming from the war in the Middle East, including the disruptions to oil markets, the IEA’s historic release of emergency oil stocks, and 10 options to help shelter consumers from the effects of higher oil prices.
