Scientists at Princeton University have developed an AI model that can predict and prevent plasma instabilities, a major hurdle in achieving practical fusion energy.
Key points:
- Problem: Plasma escaping containment in donut-shaped tokamak reactors disrupts fusion reactions and damages equipment.
- Solution: AI model predicts instabilities 300 milliseconds before they happen, allowing for adjustments to keep plasma contained.
- Significance: This is the first time AI has been used to proactively prevent tearing instabilities in fusion experiments.
- Future: Researchers hope to refine the model for other reactors and optimize fusion reactions.
I would hope scientific experts understand the natures of their work well enough to know when its hallucinating.
I use ai for coding and sure it can hallucinate horrible code but i wouldn’t copy it without reading trough the logic,
This AI won’t hallucinate because it’s not an LLM
LLMs are not the only form of AI, or machine learning.
