The quest for nuclear fusion energy is increasingly being aided by advancements in machine learning and artificial intelligence, experts say.
Algorithms are being deployed to predict disruptions that could potentially occur during experiments and may help turn the long-discussed energy source—which is based on the same process that naturally powers the Sun and stars—into reality.
“In the last four or five years… you’re suddenly seeing that old idea—that fusion is great but infinitely far away—has gone away,” Daniel Kammen, professor of energy at University of California Berkeley, said in a workshop this week, Forbes reported.
