Latest success from Google’s AI group: Controlling a fusion reactor
The AI was trained on a simulator to shape the plasma held within a tokamak.

Excerpt
“Developing the control software for a tokamak is a complicated process. Based on past experience with similar designs, engineers can extract some of the basic principles needed for the software to function, like what sensor inputs to read and how to respond to changes in them. But there are always quirks based on the design of the hardware and energies of the plasma being used. So, there tends to be an iterative process of measuring and modeling, followed by tweaks to the control process, all the while keeping the performance sufficient to make adjustments in near real-time. The resulting control software tends to be fairly specialized. If researchers want to experiment with a very different geometry for the plasma in the tokamak, a significant revision to the software may be required.
Researchers in the field had already identified artificial intelligence as a possible solution. Give the right AI sufficient examples, and it could figure out which control configurations produce the desired properties in the plasma. That would free people to focus on the desired end-state they wanted and then just let the software produce it for them so that they could study it. An AI should also be more flexible; once it is trained on how to control the system, it should be able to produce very different plasma configurations for study without the need for reprogramming.”
