AI Agents for Energy Security

Energy security is the association between national security and the availability of natural resources for energy consumption. Access to cheaper energy has become essential to the functioning of modern economies. However, the uneven distribution of energy supplies among countries has led to significant challenges. International energy relations have contributed to the globalization of the world, leading to energy security and energy vulnerability at the same time. The first article in Science Direct for energy security appeared in 1993 with authors from USA. Gradually the number of articles and their origin increases. In 2024 we observe a boom of these publications—30 (not only in Science Direct) and one planned for 2025. The recent article explores these publications and sorts them by origin and content. The content is distributed in five topics: computer technologies impact, artificial intelligence applications, environmental management and energy security, economics and policy for energy security, and emerging technologies for energy security. Since the share of AI usage is relatively small the author suggests scenarios for AI agents’ application in various situations concerning environmental decisions, failures, cyber-attacks, performance, and pricing.
