A new AI system, the “Uncertainty Engine,” is being tested aboard high-performance sailing yachts to improve safety and decision-making.
Unlike conventional AI, it provides a confidence rating for its predictions, helping crews navigate complex and unpredictable conditions while reducing the risk of errors.
The technology is not limited to sailing—it’s also being explored for optimizing shipping routes, cutting fuel costs, and even assisting in the design of small-scale nuclear reactors.
By capturing and communicating uncertainty, the AI represents a major step toward more trustworthy and accountable systems in safety-critical industries.
