In partnership with the UT AI and Innovation Program and the UT Kay Bailey Hutchinson Energy Center, Meta will host a salon dinner to highlight how AI can support the Texas energy sector. While complimentary to our broader energy priorities, the event will specifically engage policymakers and energy sector representatives to advance understanding of AI’s economic benefits and how it can boost efficiency, cut costs, and improve decision-making.

Why Texas?

Texas is crucial for Meta given its major influence on national policy and its leadership in oil, gas, and renewable energy. By engaging with Texas policymakers, industry leaders, and academic institutions, Meta can help shape AI and energy policy while supporting the state’s vital energy sectors with Llama. This approach demonstrates how AI can drive efficiency, cost savings, and smarter decision-making, reinforcing Meta’s commitment to Texas’ economic growth and innovation.

The KBH Energy Center’s Executive Director, Jack Balagia, will be a panelist.
