MITEI in brief
Can artificial intelligence (AI) help reduce energy use and improve efficiency faster than the rate at which it consumes electricity to get trained and deployed? MITEI Principal Research Scientist Deepyjoti Deka helps address this question while moderating a panel at the 2026 Energizing@MIT: MITEI's Annual Research Conference and through his work with MITEI's Data Center Power Forum.
