*AI adoption in the Mining Industry* AI is transforming the mining industry in profound ways, addressing challenges like operational inefficiency, safety concerns, and the growing demand for sustainable practices. Here are some of the latest AI-driven innovations in mining: - Predictive Maintenance and Automation: AI is being used to monitor mining equipment in real-time, predicting machinery failures before they occur, which helps to reduce downtime and maintenance costs. Autonomous vehicles and drones equipped with AI are increasingly used to perform complex, dangerous tasks like hauling, drilling, and site inspections, improving both efficiency and *worker safety*. - Ore Sorting and Resource Extraction: AI systems can now optimize the extraction process by analysing vast amounts of data to identify high-value ores more accurately. AI-powered sorting machines can also differentiate between valuable minerals and waste rock in real-time, improving the yield from mining operations. - Digital Twins: Digital twin technology, which creates virtual models of physical assets, is gaining traction in mining. By simulating mining operations, digital twins allow companies to test different scenarios, optimize planning, and predict outcomes, enhancing decision-making across the entire mining value chain. - Sustainability and Environmental Impact: AI technologies are also being deployed to reduce the environmental footprint of mining. AI can optimize resource use, such as reducing water and energy consumption, and monitor environmental risks, such as emissions and water quality, helping mining companies meet sustainability goals. - Enhanced Exploration: AI helps in finding new mineral deposits by analyzing historical data and identifying patterns that traditional methods may miss. This reduces exploration costs and speeds up the discovery of new resources. These advancements make AI a critical tool in driving efficiency, safety, and sustainability in the mining industry as it evolves toward a more technology-driven future.

All over the globe, governments recognize the AI arms race is on. Specifically there's a growing conversation about the long term economic and security importance of developing "sovereign artificial intelligence (AI)". In Australia there is a lag in AI research and development. Here's a thought-provoking question: Should Australia invest taxpayer dollars into solar panel manufacturing, or should we focus on cultivating an industry capable of powering the manufacturing of intelligence for the 4th Industrial Revolution? A report from the CSIRO highlights that Australia is behind in creating foundational AI models, such as those used by OpenAI's ChatGPT, with the majority being developed overseas. This gap could affect Australia's ability to use AI to boost productivity and strengthen the economy. Professor Anton van den Hengel from the University of Adelaide points out that AI could significantly enhance efficiency in industries, a process that could span the next two decades. He emphasizes the importance of sovereign AI in capitalizing on economic opportunities that AI can provide, including applications not yet imagined. The issue also extends to education and infrastructure. For instance, using AI models developed abroad might compromise Australian values or priorities and could pose security and cultural risks. Van den Hengel argues that Australia needs to focus on training more AI experts domestically to build a strong AI-enabled workforce. #ai #sovereignai #knowledgeeconomy #whereaithrives NEXTDC Marty McCarthy Australian Institute for Machine Learning (AIML)

Kudos to Industry and Science Minister, Ed Husic MP, for taking the initiative – and significant responsibility – of shaping a future where AI in Australia is both beneficial and safe. A future where government, legislation and business all play a fundamental role in governing the use of AI in high-risk settings. The government’s measured approach – recognising AI’s potential while consulting with businesses and industry to shape thoughtful regulation, and balancing the safety of employees and citizens – will help build trust. With AI’s power to make autonomous decisions, the focus on safety is crucial. Industry leaders like OpenAI, Google, Anthropic, and Microsoft now have the chance and opportunity to show how empathy and ethics can guide innovation and help orchestrate a brighter world. I look forward to seeing the outcome of government consultations and what Australia’s first AI Act might mean for the future of AI in our country. https://lnkd.in/gXqCNEAk

Australia is missing the weight of a community around resiliencetech, meaning start ups and tech organisations focused on the tooling, platforms, insights and financial instruments need to prepare for and recover from adversity. We need gravity around crises facing us: extreme weather events, physiological wellbeing, cyber attacks as key examples. 🌏 In geospatial… Nearmap is a home grown, now global leader in visual imagery for industries, including disaster response. Sebastian Robertson at Birdi is an early stage Aussie start up that’s making geospatial insights accessible with its super slick workflow and collaboration platform. Carolina Dreifuss has also picked up on collaboration, but at SyncTechnologies is winning awards for applying this to the claims process in insurance. 🤕 ⛑️ In safety and wellbeing… Sonder is rapidly becoming the entry point of choice for employee wellbeing and health, Perx Health have been nothing but impactful for the management of complex care. This is just a top of mind snapshot of 5 of the awesome companies founded in or by Australians doing important, impactful work. DM me if you want to be part of creating the missing community and connections between start ups, private sector and government.

🌟 CEDA’s 2024 AI Leadership Summit! 🌟 It was fabulous to be able to attend the CEDA AI Leadership Summit in Melbourne last week. The event brought together top executives, decision-makers, and thought leaders to discuss Australia's AI ambitions. Some thoughts and insights from the Summit follow, with the overarching theme was that leaders should act to embed not only responsible practices, but to drive enterprise-wide cultural change. 👩‍💼 The Human Element: Building foundational skill sets around AI, such as prompt engineering and data management, is crucial. Ensuring ethical and trusted use of AI across all employees and stakeholders is a significant challenge but essential for unlocking productivity 🏢 The Business Element: AI's acceleration will challenge existing business processes and leadership; surrounding oneself with expertise is vital, and conviction is needed in an environment where the ROI of this technology is not purely financial. 🖥️ The Technology Element: Slightly sobering, the rate of technological change will never be this slow again. Organisations should consider adapting now; reluctance in adoption will be more impactful than the technology itself. It's a fabulous privilege to be in a role that enables me to be involved in these eye-opening and future-focused considerations - people first, technology second.🚀 #AI #Leadership #Innovation #CEDA Jessica Wyndham, Mark Hudson, Daniel Hoevenaars, Jonathan Ho, Julie Allica GAICD, Con Lithoxoidis, Lachlan Fysh, David P Sofrà, Nicola Stone
