AI can now control fusion plasma faster than humans can react
SMRTR summary
Researchers at Princeton and the DOE have built an AI framework called PACMAN that can control fusion plasma thousands of times faster than any human operator. Tested successfully in five experiments at a San Diego fusion facility, it predicts dangerous plasma instabilities up to 200 milliseconds before they occur and adjusts heating systems in about 20 milliseconds, while humans retain control over safety limits and overall objectives.
