DESCRIPTION:​AI is reshaping our world\, and most of us have no idea what
 's powering it\, what it costs\, or what it means for our water and our ne
 ighborhoods. This free panel cuts through the noise with experts\, data\, 
 and real solutions in development.\n\n​This panel is built around 3 ques
 tions: What solutions are needed? What can responsible data center develop
 ment look like? and Whats in development?\n\n​Join us at USC's Michelson
  Center (MCB 101) for a free evening panel built for anyone curious about 
 AI\, energy\, water\, and what it all means for our city\, whether you're 
 a student\, a neighbor\, a policy advocate\, or just someone who has alway
 s wondered potential energy impact and solutions.\n\n​What you'll leave 
 with:\n\n​What you'll leave with:\n\n​A clear understanding of what da
 ta centers are\, what's driving the growth across California and nationall
 y\, and what's actually at stake for communities\n\n​What the research s
 hows about energy and water use — including how grid upgrade costs get a
 llocated and what ratepayer protections are on the table\, and where the g
 aps still are\n\n​A look at the engineering solutions in development tha
 t could change the cost and resource equation\n\n​What questions to ask 
 and what to watch for as this infrastructure expands in your region\n\n​
 Featured Panelists:\n\n​Kelly T. Sanders\, PhD — USC | Energy systems\
 , grid resilience & policy advisor\n\n​David Tearse\, Founder — Karman
  Industries | CO₂-based rocket-tech cooling technology for data centers 
 (zero water\, 30%+ efficiency gains)\n\n​Shaolei Ren\, PhD — UC | Rive
 rside AI energy & water footprint research\n\n​+ Additional panelists to
  be announced\n\n \n\nMore information and RSVP.
