AI in deep mining can play a key role in making operations safer, more efficient, and less resource-intensive.
Instead of relying solely on traditional drilling and manual inspections, AI-driven systems can continuously scan and learn from the underground environment as it changes, helping machines navigate and work autonomously in complex conditions. Advanced data collection and analysis allow AI to process vast amounts of geological and operational information, identify patterns and risks that humans might miss, and potentially extract detailed information about the rock mass without always needing physical drilling.
