Data-Driven Mining: The Role Of AI And Machine Learning

The field of machine learning and artificial intelligence (ML/AI) is rapidly evolving today and slowly beginning to reshape the mining sector. With the mining machinery becoming larger and equipment more sophisticated, the sector can gain immensely from these advanced technologies in terms of operational efficiency and ramping down costs. ML/AI is a field of computer study that deals with the creation of intelligent machines that work and react like humans. It covers a wide spectrum from speech recognition and visual perception up to language translations and decision-making, which normally require human intelligence. ML algorithms and AI is considered the next step for digital mine transformation.
