00:00So the world is changing very fast, but we have to make sure that human is always in the loop.
00:06So human centering technologies are used because those technologies are for humanity.
00:12Humanity is not for the technology.
00:21Hello and welcome to Energy Frontiers, our monthly series examining the evolving dynamics of the global energy sector.
00:29Coming to you from our studio in Baku, Azerbaijan.
00:33This month we explore how AI, smart grids, quantum computing and cross-border infrastructure are reshaping energy systems.
00:41As nations race to decarbonize and scale up investments in renewables, which innovations will define the next era.
00:49In a moment, Fariz Javarov, the head of Azerbaijan's Center for the Fourth Industrial Revolution, will join me to share his thoughts on the matter.
00:57But first, here's an overview of what's at stake.
01:00As the world shifts towards net zero, new technologies such as AI are playing an increasingly central role in energy systems.
01:09AI can help smooth integration of renewables like solar and wind into the energy mix,
01:15balance decentralized and digitalized power grids,
01:19boost the capacity of transmission lines through smart sensors,
01:23optimize energy flows and manage maintenance more smoothly.
01:28AI will also boost energy efficiency in offices and homes.
01:32However, AI is energy hungry.
01:35Huge data centers use as much power as 100,000 homes.
01:40And electricity demand for data centers is forecast to double by 2030.
01:45So how do we make the most of new technology to build a greener and more sustainable energy future?
01:53I'm delighted to say that I'm joined in studio now by Fariz Javarov.
01:57He is the executive director of C4IR Azerbaijan.
02:01It's wonderful to see you today, Fariz.
02:03Thank you so much for your invitation.
02:05Let me start by asking you about the Center,
02:08because it's part of the World Economic Forum's network of C4IR.
02:12Talk to me about the measurable impact of the Center since it launched and your goals for the year ahead.
02:17Back in 2016, the head of World Economic Forum, Klaus Schwab,
02:21he came up with the idea of forced industrial revolution,
02:25which there are several technologies like artificial intelligence,
02:29internet of things, 3D and 4D printing, biotechnologies, nanotechnologies.
02:35And things are integrated with each other, and that shapes the whole economy, our life.
02:40Therefore, World Economic Forum created a special center, C4IR,
02:45Center for Force and Industrial Revolution, back in 2017 in San Francisco.
02:50And we became a part of this network in 2021.
02:54So basically, we attract international expertise to Azerbaijan using the network.
02:59We make sure that digital economy is in place.
03:02We help people to gain knowledge and experience in the time of the Force and Industrial Revolution.
03:08We also bring international technologies like adoption in different industries.
03:14We prepare some strategies.
03:15When it comes to AI and advancing technologies,
03:19what are you deploying in Azerbaijan to help improve efficiency, not least in the energy sector?
03:24AI for energy and energy for AI.
03:28There's a paradox in the world.
03:29AI-related data centers may increase the usage of energy around 50% annually.
03:38But at the same time, application of AI can minimize the energy consumption around 60%.
03:45So basically, since the world is growing, technologies are applied in different places.
03:50Sensors are there.
03:52Internet of things are there.
03:53That requires a lot of energy.
03:55But at the same time, those technologies help us to reduce emission of carbon dioxide,
04:03to reduce the cost of labor, cost of production.
04:08So basically, it's a kind of balancing each other.
04:11What are the greatest challenges you're currently facing with this integration and adoption?
04:15And how are you making sure that your strategies and policies, ambitions align with SDGs?
04:20Because technology is changing very fast.
04:23It's very difficult to make the regulations and laws aligned with all these changes.
04:30At the same time, we have to make sure that Azerbaijani citizens are ready to foster those technologies in the country.
04:38So we have to equip them with skills, with education, with knowledge,
04:43in order to be adaptable to all the kind of changes happening.
04:47As a country, we have several papers and strategies.
04:50One of them recently adopted and signed by the president about AI strategy.
04:57We have digital development concept and the digital economy development strategies on the way.
05:04So basically, that shows Azerbaijan's vision for adoption of different technologies in different sectors of the economy in upcoming years.
05:15Many nations are discussing the fourth industrial revolution.
05:19Many are still at the pilot stages.
05:21How do you, how does the world move from those small trials to widespread adoption?
05:26So basically, we have started to apply several methodologies, international methodologies,
05:32as a pilot project in different sectors, including Industrial 4.0 approach,
05:37to understand the gaps of SMEs, small and medium enterprises,
05:43to understand their technological readiness, to understand the institutional readiness,
05:47and to understand their business gaps.
05:51Based on that, we developed a digital transformation roadmap,
05:55where actually they can apply technologies in order to minimize their cost,
05:59to have predictive analytics, to make decisions based on the data,
06:02and at the end, to have a bit around 20%,
06:06so to increase the profit and also to decrease their labor costs.
06:10At the same time, now we are giving special programs for SMEs,
06:14and we want to extend this program to more than 650 SMEs by the end of 2030.
06:21Looking ahead to 2035, give me your view of a truly modern economy.
06:27How is it powered, and more importantly, how is it governed?
06:30So basically, the biological, digital, and physical spheres are going very, like,
06:37converge to each other faster.
06:40Very soon, we will see smart houses, more than 70% probably.
06:44We will see robots in different sectors, like dark factories.
06:48There is no electricity used in that robots, like lights,
06:53but the robots itself will, like, produce different products 24-7, non-stop.
07:01By 2035, it will extend in different areas, like autonomous vehicle,
07:07probably e-vehicles will be around 60% to 70% usage.
07:12And imagine that if autonomous vehicles are talking to each other,
07:16there might be less congestion and traffic jam,
07:22and there will be less emission of the CO2 in different countries.
07:26So the world is changing very fast,
07:28but we have to make sure that human is always in the loop.
07:32So human-centric technologies are used,
07:35because those technologies are for humanity.
07:38Humanity is not for the technology.
07:40Fariz Jafarov, thank you so much for speaking to me today.
07:43We have to leave our conversation there.
07:44Thank you so much.
07:46Well, that wraps up this edition of Energy Frontiers.
07:48But join me again next time from Baku in Azerbaijan.
