Efficiency gains are cutting the power needed per AI task at a record pace. But usage is surging, & more energy-intensive applications like AI agents are on the rise – with some tasks using hundreds or thousands of times more energy than simple queries → iea.li/3Qf9zxV

Diversifying rare earths markets is key to ensuring the resilience of global supply chains. New projects are emerging worldwide, but planned refining & magnet manufacturing capacity outside of China remains well below that for mining 👉 iea.li/3T3Lr2z

Surging EV exports from China are shielding manufacturers from declining domestic car sales. While China's total car sales fell by more than 20% in the first half of 2026 versus a year earlier, electric car exports increased by more than 120% 👉 iea.li/4x9QXPW

AI is becoming dramatically more energy efficient. At the same time, electricity demand from data centres is set to surge. How can both be true? Watch as IEA experts unpack this question – and discuss what AI means for the energy system more broadly 👉 iea.li/4bvR3Jn
