At 1 p.m., Ahmad Bahai, CTO of Texas Instruments, presented the synergies between artificial intelligence and energy, followed by Mikhail Chudakov of the IAEA, who addressed the communication challenges surrounding fusion: Bringing Fusion to Public: Driving Public Awareness & Industry Adoption. The Director of the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, Kimberly S. Budil, then described the prospects opened up by fusion ignition: Fusion Ignition: What Comes Next? while Arthur Huang, founder of Miniwiz, discussed the topic Zero Waste and Beyond.
Alpha Ring unveils first Fusion AI data centre
Alpha Ring, world leader in micro-fusion, presented its Fusion AI Data Centre. The pioneering centre serves to centralise experimental, theoretical and simulated data from researchers, academic institutions and industrial partners around the world, to create a unified platform powered by artificial intelligence.
The aim is to stimulate international cooperation and accelerate progress towards sustainable and affordable energy through fusion energy. Thanks to the state-of-the-art facility, researchers, students and professionals can now access high-fidelity data sets and carry out experiments remotely.
Giovanni Landi, Alpha Ring’s Managing Director for the EMEA region, said in a statement: “To unlock commercial fusion, the global community must move beyond individual initiatives and work together to turn data into knowledge, and knowledge into action.” The Fusion AI Data Centre plays a key role in facilitating this global collaboration. The platform offers advanced analysis tools, such as automated particle trace assessment and real-time diagnostics. This helps speed up scientific discoveries. Alpha Ring also supports training for tomorrow’s talent, by making this technology more accessible. As such, the company is contributing to a sustainable energy future.
