Applying AI for maximum impact and value creation in a world seeking energy security #AI

Dennis Jol, CEO of AIQ, outlines how AI has become one of the most powerful tools available for driving energy security as efficiently as possible.
How is your organisation evolving its strategy to meet growing energy demand, advance lower-carbon objectives, and respond to changing market dynamics?
AIQ has now been in existence for six years, developing and deploying industrial AI at scale across the energy value chain, with specialisations in subsurface, drilling, production, asset integrity, and HSE. 
This foundational, first-hand experience has crystalised the interdependency between AI and energy, and focussed our activities on where the technology can be applied for maximum impact and value creation. This involves upskilling the workforce to better utilise AI, and ensuring trust and sovereignty are at the heart of thinking about and deploying capabilities. 
Our organisation is also at the forefront of introducing orchestrated AI systems in energy workflows, inspiring the move towards one AI-enabled native operating system sitting on top of individual AI applications and agents. A single AI co-worker, so-to-speak. 

With the most suitable type of AI application deployed, and a workforce upskilled to utilise it effectively, we believe this technology is one of the single greatest tools in helping achieve energy security as efficiently as possible.

What long-term strategies do you believe are essential to ensuring both energy security and affordability?
The enduring strategy of AI-enablement of industrial processes is the maintenance of its relevance and clear business objectives. The technology itself is progressing at a rapid pace, and its capabilities will continue to graduate to new horizons and business cases. What is essential is for an understanding of the business objectives this technology is applied to achieve, how to monitor progress, and assess success. 
From an energy security perspective, we believe the ability to clearly delineate where no AI may be required to boost operations versus where assisted AI, or autonomous AI is most appropriate, is crucial. What is important is to have the technology always secured, and subordinate to human-based decision-making, with an investment in AI being driven by business cases rather than for the technology’s own sake.
With the most suitable type of AI application deployed, and a workforce upskilled to utilise it effectively, we believe this technology is one of the single greatest tools in helping achieve energy security as efficiently as possible.
Which technologies, trends, or innovations do you expect to have the greatest impact on the global energy industry over the next decade?
This is a difficult outcome to predict given the rapid pace of innovation and impact in the AI industry. What I will be comfortable predicting is that energy companies that are not implementing AI as part of their development programme stand a far lower chance of succeeding into the future than those that do.
AI is rapidly transforming the energy sector. Where do you see the greatest opportunities for AI to create value across your organisation?
From an AIQ perspective, we see significant value creation in both assisted and autonomous AI, where individuals are empowered not just to do things quicker and more efficiently but to be able to undertake entirely new tasks which drastically increase general productivity.  
We see massive value-accretive opportunities in AI-enabled analysis, visualisation, decision-making, and action to the point where workflows and use cases become so streamlined that more activities can be achieved with fewer inputs.
What recent milestones, projects, or achievements have been most significant for your organisation?
There have been a number, as 2026 is turning out to be a milestone year for AIQ. One such achievement is a significant international win, which entailed the complete transformation of live video systems and cameras into real-time intelligence – helping organisations detect safety risks, monitor compliance, identify operational issues, and generate actionable insights as they happen.
What makes this engagement and platform so impressive is its immense scale and the fact that it is not just the AI model – it is its ability to perform reliably at significant scale, across industries.
What are your expectations for ADIPEC 2026, and which discussions or themes are you most looking forward to?
We are looking forward to participating in telling and showing the world what system resilience in energy means, and how AI generally – and AIQ specifically – is playing a central and pioneering role in this regard. 
The Middle East has long been associated with the export of oil and gas products, and with every passing year, we witness the growth in the region’s competence and export potential for cutting-edge digital innovation.
