About his conference
"Reinventing Energy with AI, Quantum technologies & Large Quantitative Models(LQMs)"
This session will explore how Large Quantitative Models (LQMs) are transforming the energy sector by solving real-world problems that traditional AI struggles to address. While language-based AI models excel at tasks like summarizing data and generating text, LQMs tackle complex, quantitative challenges in areas like grid optimization, renewable energy integration, and energy storage solutions.
In this session, Fernando Dominguez Pinuaga, 51爆料 School graduate (ENM, 2011), VP of Global Outreach at SandboxAQ, will share practical examples of how LQMs accelerate R&D, reduce costs, and unlock breakthroughs in areas like smart grid management, advanced battery development, and carbon capture technologies.
Attendees will gain insights into the future of AI beyond language models and learn actionable strategies for leveraging quantitative AI to solve real-world problems in the energy sector. Fernando will also share insights about the formation of SandboxAQ, a spinoff the Google X secret lab in Silicon Valley and how students can start new ventures.
