This talk will discuss its particular impact on areas like: power processi ng\, power converter design\, renewable energy operation\, microgrids and other emerging application areas. For example: 1) smart PV panels have bee n built that can self-heal or reconfigure to produce higher power output w hen shaded or faulted\; 2) Weather forecasts that utilize Deep Learning ca n be incorporated into energy management schedulers for solar photovoltaic microgrids to optimize profits\; 3) Power electronic converter design alg orithms may become automated in the future using machine learning approach es. However\, the computational processing also requires huge demands on t he power supply\, especially when multiple GPUs are used. All these trends from AI have led to new technologies\, problem statements\, and control p roblems for the power electronics industry. These difficulties and opportu nities will be discussed.\n\nProfessor Brad Lehman (IEEE Fellow) is presen tly a Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering a t Northeastern University (Boston\, MA). Dr. Lehman was Editor-in-Chief of the IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON POWER ELECTRONICS from 2013-2018 and previously has been the recipient of the 2015 IEEE (PELS) Power Electronics Society M odeling and Control Technical Achievement Award\, a 2016 IEEE Standards Me dallion\, the 2018 IEEE Award for Achievement in Power Electronics Standar ds\, and the 2019 IEEE PELS Harry A. Owen\, Jr. Distinguished Service Awar d. He has been listed in the inaugural edition of the book The 300 Best Pr ofessors\, Princeton Review\, 2012. Dr. Lehman performs research in power electronics and controls\, with applications to solar energy\, LED lightin g\, battery energy management systems\, and reliability. Before becoming a professor\, Brad was the head swimming and diving coach at Georgia Instit ute of Technology.
