| 6/9/26 | AI and energy access: Bill Lenihan | Can AI help deliver access to reliable, affordable energy in emerging economies? The team at ZOLA Intelligence believes the answer to that question is yes. According to the company's website, ZOLA's platform "is engineered to solve energy inequality for billions of people by asserting that true energy access requires intelligence, not just hardware." Join host David Sandalow as he talks with Bill Lenihan, CEO and founder of ZOLA Intelligence, about the challenge of providing reliable, affordable energy and the company's innovative work around the world.
