Google DeepMind is bringing AI to the next generation of fusion energy
We’re announcing our research partnership with Commonwealth Fusion Systems (CFS) to bring clean, safe, limitless fusion energy closer to reality with our advanced AI systems. This partnership builds …
TL;DR
- Google is partnering with Commonwealth Fusion Systems (CFS) to advance fusion energy.
- The collaboration leverages AI, specifically deep reinforcement learning and differentiable simulation (TORAX), to control and optimize plasma in fusion machines.
- CFS's SPARC machine aims to be the first to achieve net fusion energy (breakeven).
- AI simulations will help test and refine operating plans for SPARC, potentially saving time and resources.
- AI agents will explore vast scenarios to find efficient paths to net energy generation.
- The partnership also focuses on developing AI for real-time control of plasma, including managing heat loads.
- Google's investment supports CFS's work towards commercialization of fusion technology.
- The ultimate vision is to integrate AI as a core system in future fusion power plants for a cleaner energy future.
