70 - AI’s Role in an Equitable Energy Transition (with Decisions Now)

In this episode, Marine Cornelis swaps roles and becomes the guest on Decisions Now, a podcast by Evalueserve exploring how AI and data are reshaping business decisions across sectors.

Together with host Erin Pearson, Marine dives into a topic close to her heart: how to make sure that innovation in the energy sector actually serves people—not just systems or markets.

This candid and wide-ranging conversation explores what it takes to build trust in a world increasingly driven by algorithms and automation.

🎧 Originally aired on Decisions Now, this episode is shared on Energ’Ethic as part of our partner content series.

Highlights

🔌 What energy fairness really means—from global access gaps to the silent struggles of European households making impossible choices between heating and eating.

💬 The power of good communication—Why the energy sector needs less jargon and more empathy. Spoiler: your marketing team might be your best asset in the transition.

🧺 Toasters, transparency, and trust—A witty (and slightly unsettling) look at what our connected devices know about us, and why clear rules around data use matter more than ever.
