AI firm AIQ pilots new tools for oil patch
Six months of war and AI fever have added urgency to the rollout of Genesis, an operating system AIQ is pitching to energy companies.
The Iran war has served as a proving ground for ADNOC's investment in artificial intelligence. AIQ, the AI firm that serves as the largest customer and shareholder of the Abu Dhabi oil giant, has transitioned from an optional add-on to a critical source of real-time insights during the conflict. Dennis Jol, CEO of AIQ, stated this to Semafor.
With six months of war and AI fever, there is now a heightened urgency to roll out Genesis, an operating system AIQ is proposing to energy companies. This system runs extensive agentic AI across both upstream and downstream operations without depending on any single AI model provider, such as Anthropic or OpenAI. AIQ is currently testing its tools in various energy regions, including Kuwait, India, Malaysia, and Vietnam.
An Egyptian pilot was able to predict a pump failure 45 days in advance, according to AIQ's chief technology officer. AIQ has made its first hiring in the UK and is considering other locations like Houston. The company has also identified 100 potential acquisition targets as it aims for growth, as stated by Jol.
