Subject: RE: Energy Summit: Panel 4
Team: here are some questions that would be right in our wheelhouse from an ExxonMobil perspective. We're happy to work any of these, as well as any additional ideas, with you as needed. Thanks for the opportunity and don't hesitate to contact me
Jamie
1. competition from countries like China, is that goal truly feasible? In your view, is the U.S. positioned to lead the Al race, and if so, what gives us the competitive edge?
2. What is the energy industry - including ExxonMobil - doing to help ensure the United States wins the Al race?
3. Demand for Al is surging so much that there are doubts we can bring new power plants online fast enough. At the same time, there's been great debate around permitting challenges and what can be done to speed up timelines. How important is permitting not just for powering data centers but also projects generally?
4. We've talked about the great demand we see for Al computing. How can we balance that demand while also making sure we're still meeting society's other energy demands?

5. People outside of the energy sector often overlook the industry's track record of innovation. How have advances in oilfield technology contributed to this boom in natural gas output that is helping to power Al data centers?
6. Do you think the energy intensity of Al will delay, or further delay, the world in meeting climate targets? Is there a way we can realistically decarbonize Al centers?

We are thrilled that your boss will be joining us at the Energy and Innovation Summit on Tuesday and grateful for their willingness to participate in this panel.
I'd like to introduce you all to my colleague, Ashley Higgins, who will be the point person on this panel in the lead up and day of. Attached is a memo from Ashley with a panel description, key themes, and bios for all panelists. I've also copied Katy and Jake from

We'd be happy to facilitate a prep call for relevant staff if of interest. Ashley will follow up on that.
