AI-Powered Solution From Machine Discovery Selected To Support Consortium On Fusion Energy Research

Leading teams from around the world will use Machine Discovery’s AI-powered Discovery Platform, which accelerates computationally complex optimisation and prediction tasks, to help research into the development of commercial fusion power plants. A multi-year partnership involving First Light Fusion, the Universities of Oxford, York, Imperial College London, and Machine Discovery is called the Prosperity Partnership project. The goal is to investigate a new technique for producing fusion energy that could someday be scaled up to offer reliable, abundant, and clean energy.

Finding the ideal fusion solution quickly
Machine Members of the alliance may handle complicated collaborative projects involving numerous large teams thanks to Discovery’s innovative AI platform. Rapid neural-network-based models for prediction are quickly created from the simulation output results using the platform’s revolutionary emulation technique, resulting in orders of magnitude faster prediction with high accuracy. The platform’s optimisation engine blends simulation and neural-network model outputs with AI algorithms for optimisation and sampling to enable the exploration of a noticeably wider design space at a record rate. Researchers from the three universities, two businesses, and the new collaboration will collaborate to explore the movement of heat, matter, and radiation in the distinctive targets of First Light Fusion, which contain intricate interfaces between extremely disparate pressures and temperatures.

Professor Gianluca Gregori, co-founder of Machine Discovery, stated: “Our goal is to enable the delivery of fusion energy as quickly as possible by providing an AI-powered solution for compute-intensive tasks to achieve significant productivity.” We are happy to be a part of the Prosperity Partnership because the project’s goals are in line with our plan to use artificial intelligence technology to hasten the development of affordable, sustainable energy.
