Scaling AI to support the energy transition | AI Now Summit 2026

TotalEnergies is leveraging AI as a strategic lever to compress the timeline of the energy transition. Strategic shift: the company is transitioning from oil and gas to becoming a major player in electricity, aiming for 20% of its energy mix to be electrons by 2030. Data investment: a global data platform is being structured across all assets with an investment of $200 million to $300 million to enable AI scaling. Industrial focus: there is a high conviction in agentic AI over generative AI for industrial applications, focusing on tools that perform specific tasks. Predictive maintenance: the "bad actor agent," developed with Mistral monitors thousands of pieces of refinery equipment to improve plant availability and safety. Human augmentation: AI is viewed as a tool to augment and enhance human capabilities rather than replace them, removing repetitive, time-consuming tasks. Workforce training: a worldwide program aims to ensure every engineer understands AI, with 60% of the company's 30,000 engineers already using AI tools daily. Renewable optimization: AI is critical for managing intermittent renewables, improving weather forecasting, and optimizing interactions between solar farms, batteries, and the grid. Sovereignty and competency: partnerships with top labs like Mistral are used to maintain data sovereignty while ensuring the company remains at the forefront of AI technology. #energytransition #ai #totalenergies #renewableenergy #industrialai #sustainability Subscribe: ‪ ⁨ @MistralAIOfficial Follow on X: https://x.com/MistralAI Follow on LinkedIn: / mistralai
