AI can now control fusion plasma faster than humans can react
Researchers at Princeton have developed an artificial intelligence system that can quickly monitor and control fusion plasma, surpassing human reaction times. The AI detected a potential instability 200 milliseconds before it occurred and took action to prevent it from forming. This technology could potentially improve the efficiency of fusion reactions.
Why it's good news: It brings us closer to harnessing the energy of fusion, a nearly limitless and clean source of power.
