Among the founding members is Aaron Goldfeder, CEO of AZX and longtime leader in AI and energy innovation.

"This Forum gives leaders a space to share ideas, accelerate innovation, and set a responsible direction for how AI can help move the industry forward."

The AI Energy Forum will host roundtable sessions throughout the year, providing members with access to emerging insights, peer-to-peer collaboration, and a role in shaping best practices for AI in energy.
