About this talk
At its core, energy is leverage. It allows us to do more with less, and our ability to harness it has transformed society immeasurably since the Industrial Revolution. Now, as we become increasingly able to exchange energy for cognitive output, we have unlocked a new scaling vector for this leverage, one that could reshape global power structures over the coming decades. This talk explores that dynamic, its implications for the energy sector and for those who govern it, and the risks that come with a world in which intelligence itself is now a function of energy.
