Speaking with CNBC’s Julia Boorstin, Bonner explained how the growing use of AI is creating new demands on the energy sector, particularly as data centres and advanced computing infrastructure require substantial amounts of electricity to operate.

As businesses increasingly adopt AI tools and technology companies expand their data centre operations, energy providers face mounting pressure to deliver sufficient and reliable power. The trend has intensified discussions about electricity infrastructure, energy investment and the role of major energy companies in meeting future demand.

Chevron, one of the world’s leading energy companies, is positioning itself to respond to these changing energy needs. The company sees growing energy demand as an important issue for the future, as technological advancements reshape how businesses and consumers use electricity.

Bonner discussed these developments during an interview featured on CNBC’s Changemakers podcast, where she spoke about the relationship between artificial intelligence, energy consumption and Chevron’s plans to help meet rising demand.

The growing intersection between AI and energy is becoming an increasingly important issue for the global economy, with technology companies and energy producers facing the challenge of balancing innovation, reliable power supplies and long-term energy needs.
