I agree that AI is the best answer to the problem of controlling the plasma; but unfortunately, the article ends with the usual statement:

“While nuclear fusion could revolutionize energy production, with pilot projects targeting energy output at 10 times the input, no fusion project has up to now created a net energy increase. Critics say commercially viable fusion always remains fifty years in the future”

Apparently, even with AI doing the controlling, the energy output is still less than the energy input due to parasitic power theft. It will take hundreds of millions or even billions of dollars and many years of work, to solve this nagging problem. That’s assuming it can be solved at all.
