![]() ![]() Project leader Nicolas Hohn, more at home in the French alps than on the water, said the bot’s unprecedented learning abilities vastly accelerated the design process. Importantly, it does it very quickly, faster than the sailors can do run after run after run.” Against Pete it does a little bit better but it does it consistently better. “If I got in the simulator it would blow me away. It out-performs the sailors consistently in most wind ranges. And in fact it learns to sail the simulator better than the sailors can sail it. “And how we did that is to build an AI bot that can sail the simulator. “And when the designers put in a hydrofoil the sailors need to come off the water and test it and they need to do a bunch of runs on the simulator to get consistent data.”įox, a keen sailor, said McKinsey’s solution was “to essentially take the sailors out of the question."
