Swiss Federal Institute of Technology and Google use AI to control plasmas for nuclear fusion

This promises possibly spectacular results! Remember chess, Go, AlphaFold and much more where Google AI research has pushed the boundaries!

"EPFL's Swiss Plasma Center (SPC) has decades of experience in plasma physics and plasma control methods. DeepMind is a scientific discovery company acquired by Google in 2014 that's committed to "solving intelligence to advance science and humanity." Together, they have developed a new magnetic control method for plasmas based on deep reinforcement learning, and applied it to a real-world plasma for the first time in the SPC's tokamak research facility, TCV. Their study has just been published in Nature. ..."
