(Link in comments) That is precisely why we decided to bring Marco Ripani to Monaco. Not to talk about nuclear energy in abstract terms but to give our audience the opportunity to ask questions directly to someone who works every day on the technologies shaping our future energy systems. Marco (INFN Genova & AIN) delivered a rigorous, grounded session on the intersection of AI, electricity demand, and nuclear innovation, cutting through ideology and focusing on physics, engineering, and system-level constraints. ✨ 𝐇𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐬 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐨’𝐬 𝐬𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧: • Why AI and data centers are fundamentally energy-constrained problems • The scale of future electricity demand driven by AI and electrification • How nuclear fission works — and why it is uniquely energy-dense • The role of SMRs in flexibility, safety, and industrial applications • How nuclear, renewables, and grids can work together in hybrid systems • Why energy strategy is becoming inseparable from technological sovereignty ▶ 𝐖𝐚𝐭𝐜𝐡 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐟𝐮𝐥𝐥 𝐭𝐚𝐥𝐤 𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞: youtube.com/watch?v=UT2kik-j… 📥 𝐒𝐥𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐬 𝐚𝐜𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬 We share the speakers’ slides 𝐞𝐱𝐜𝐥𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐲 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐀𝐈 𝐌𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐜𝐨 𝐂𝐥𝐮𝐛 𝐬𝐮𝐛𝐬𝐜𝐫𝐢𝐛𝐞𝐫𝐬.

𝗪𝗿𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘂𝗽 𝗗𝗮𝘃𝗼𝘀 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲. I feel very privileged to have met, in person, several people whose work has inspired my research throughout my life. I’m also grateful for the many unexpected thoughtful conversations during @wef week. It felt like an year worth of networking compressed into 96 hours. A few highlights from the week (photos attached): -First night out at @Cloudflare dinner meeting with @AndrewYNg was a personal milestone. I’ve been following his work ever since the early @coursera days and feels unnatural to finally see him in 3D and not 2D -@imperialcollege London lunch/dinner with @DavidShrier -AI House Davos - my base camp for most of the week -@GoldmanSachs alumni, always energizing to reconnect Gary D. Cohn -@imaginationxyz (@StanfordHAI x @MIT_CSAIL) has been the pinnacle of the week for me -The one and only @ylecun!! -And eventually Monaco Day in Davos, my new home place with a solid speakers line up. Congrats Ludmilla Raconnat Le Goff and Celine DERI for the organisation Clearly the main topics have been AI, sovereign tech and robotics. Grateful for the experience, now back to work.
