The principal objective of the International Symposium on Artificial Intelligence and Nuclear Energy will be to bring together relevant stakeholders to review and explore opportunities for cooperation and mutual benefit towards the use of nuclear energy to power data centres, including for enabling AI’s expansion, and the use of AI to drive innovation and efficiencies in the nuclear industry.

The two-day event will primarily focus on assessing and strengthening synergies between nuclear power and AI, from powering data centres to enhancing and accelerating nuclear innovation. It will also be an opportunity for the AI and nuclear sectors and their associated industries to establish new and/or strengthen synergistic relationships going forward.

Technical panel discussions will aim to bring together diverse international perspectives from various experts to foster a comprehensive understanding of how nuclear power can support and address projected energy needs to help ensure that the full scope of opportunities and innovations that AI has to offer come to fruition. The symposium will also elaborate on the IAEA’s role vis-à-vis emerging end-users, such as the AI industry, as prospective protagonists in the nuclear energy ecosystem. The dialogue will explore the gamut of nuclear power development and deployment including the complexities of technology selection, infrastructure development, stakeholder engagement, financing, construction, operation, decommissioning and the management of safety, security, safeguards and human resources.

A limited amount of space will be available for exhibitions and the programme will accommodate networking and side events. Contact the Scientific Secretariate by email at AI-Symp-2025@iaea.org for more information.
