Google’s DeepMind AI can now manipulate nuclear fusion
DeepMind, Google’s artificial intelligence division, has trained an AI to control the superheated plasma inside a nuclear fusion reactor, paving the way for unlimited clean energy to arrive sooner. Nuclear fusion is the method by which our sun and other stars generate energy, yet it remains frustratingly out of reach despite decades of research. Nuclear fusion has enormous potential, according to physicist Dr. Arthur Turrell, who recently described it as “a breakthrough in human history comparable to the advent of electricity.” One of the most difficult aspects of doing so…
