Session Abstract

This focused workshop offers a structured and practical introduction to Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the geothermal sector. It begins with a broad introduction to AI, then progressively zooms in on company integration strategies and real-world geothermal use cases. With expert inputs from industry and academia, attendees will leave with a better understanding of how AI can enhance both daily operations and specialized geothermal tasks, from seismic interpretation to borehole optimization.
