AI earns trust in critical systems through control
Google DeepMind and its research partners report on September 4 that an artificial intelligence (AI) controller has undergone testing at the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) in Livingston, Louisiana. Their Deep Loop Shaping method reduces control noise in a difficult mirror-control loop by a reported factor of 30 to 100.
The achievement is technically specific, and that is precisely why it offers a useful lesson for AI in critical systems.
