What does AI really mean for clean energy? These days, the answer is increasingly hard to find.

The AI craze, fueled by the popularization of tools like ChatGPT, has produced a frothy layer of contenders and pretenders.

Hofeldt has spent a career analyzing and developing AI tools, and he explains how to separate meaningful technology from marketing hype. He also shares why Stem thinks you should be able to talk to, and with, your projects, and what they're building to make that a possibility very soon.

That's all next on Factor This!
