About this listen

In this episode of AI Today, hosts Kathleen Walch and Ron Schmelzer dig into the transformative role of artificial intelligence in the mining industry. From underground safety to surface-level sustainability, AI is helping modernize one of the world’s oldest and most essential sectors.

Learn how AI is being used to:

  • Operate autonomous trucks, drills, and loaders in hazardous environments
  • Monitor equipment health and perform predictive maintenance to reduce downtime
  • Optimize resource extraction and mineral processing in real time
  • Improve mine planning and resource estimation through advanced data analysis
  • Enhance exploration efforts using geological data and machine learning
  • Detect safety hazards such as gas leaks, rockfalls, and structural risks
  • Reduce energy usage and environmental impact with AI-driven sustainability tools
  • Monitor regulatory compliance and manage tailings dams to prevent disasters

While mining may be out of sight for most of us, AI is bringing new visibility, precision, and responsibility to the way we extract the world’s resources.
