Out with the Gold: The Big Data, AI Mining Revolution INN

As the thirst for technology increases and the demand for smartphones, electric cars and other complex technological devices grows, the amount of resources, minerals and metals we need will only increase, but can we meet this demand? There are few sectors and industries that have not been impacted by technological advancement. Whether it's improving efficiency, enhancing transparency or transforming the supply chain, big data, machine learning and AI are poised to reshape the mining sector as we know it; and the timing couldn't be any better. At the recent Big Data and AI conference held in Toronto, the topic of mining disruption through technology was front and center. Speaker Denis Laviolette, president and CEO of GoldSpot Discovery, highlighted the need for the mining sector to not only embrace the recent advancements, but to also quickly look for ways to integrate these innovations into its business model.
