 As nations target to meet net-zero goals, nuclear energy is reemerging as an essential — and often controversial — part of the clean energy mix. At the same time, the rapid rise of artificial intelligence is reshaping electricity demand, pushing policymakers and investors to consider large-scale, reliable, and low-carbon generation sources. This panel brings together global experts to discuss the role of nuclear power in deep decarbonization and its potential to meet the surging energy needs of the AI era. We will examine technological, economic, policy, and geopolitical factors influencing nuclear power’s future — with perspectives from China, the United States, and the European Union.
