In an almost serendipitous manner, artificial intelligence (AI) could be coming to our aid. It was reported in the early 2024 that scientists in California have developed a new chemical formulation with the help of generative AI which could reduce the need for lithium by up to 70%. The synergy between AI and renewables is unlikely to …
