AI system designed to manage the power of the sun

( Natural News ) Practical fusion power requires an overseer that can keep an unblinking eye on the tokamak reactor and rein in any complication that could interrupt the production of energy. That is why the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) came up with the bright idea of developing an artificial intelligence system to handle the job . Named “Accelerated Deep Learning Discovery in Fusion Energy Science,” it will anticipate the appearance of disruptions in the fusion process. It will prevent the said event from causing damage to the tokamak reactor. The AI has been chosen as one of the Aurora Early Science projects. It will join nine other data science and machine learning projects that will be run on the upcoming Aurora exascale computer. Aurora is an extremely powerful computing system. It is expected to be 50 to 100 times faster than the best supercomputers of this generation. It is slated for arrival at the Argonne Leadership Computing Facility in 2021. Once it has been set up, Aurora will claim the title of the first exascale computing system found in the U.S. (Related: Sad robot: Expert says that robots could become so life-like that they will develop mental illnesses too .) New AI will keep an electronic eye on the state of tokamak plasma Plasma is the super-heated and electrically charged state of matter. It is made up of atomic nuclei and free electrons. When the plasma of light elements are combined during fusion, the ensuing reaction produces a lot of energy. This is the source of power of the Sun and other stars. It could provide nearly unlimited power on Earth, which is why researchers are looking for ways to replicate this process.
