AI can be leveraged to drive down costs in the mining industry

AI enables mining companies to use autonomous machinery and data to improve efficiency and productivity and reduce downtime. Autonomous machinery can also reduce the requirement for on-site workers, thereby removing them from potential hazards and improving safety. Although it may not be the cheapest technology, with AI, miners can use sensors, real-time data, and analytics to understand when changes in factors such as temperature and vibrations can lead to danger, thereby improving safety measures.
