At the 2026 World Artificial Intelligence Conference, the Institute of Modern Physics at the Chinese Academy of Sciences said China globally launched an AI-empowered accelerator-driven advanced nuclear system technology roadmap, AIforADANES, and established an associated all-domain innovation alliance. The roadmap adopts a physics-intrinsic world-model intelligence framework and a ‘‘data + physical model + expert experience’’ triple-driven paradigm, which the institute says addresses AI black-box controllability concerns against the nuclear sector’s zero-tolerance safety requirements and fills a technical gap for deploying intelligent advanced nuclear systems.
