The collaboration will leverage IBM and STFC’s expertise in AI alongside UKAEA’s data and modelling capabilities to create “frontier” or “foundation models” capable of learning the fundamental dynamics of the experimental fusion data.
The partnership of all three AIRTO members brings together fusion scientists and AI experts from the three organisations and aims to drive transformative breakthroughs in applying AI to fusion powerplant design and experimental facility operations.
