Predicting the Next Giant: The Essential Role of Geoscientists and Mineral Systems in our World of Rapidly Emerging AI Technology
Mineral exploration suffers from a prediction problem: we are good at predicting mineralization, but not very good at predicting world-class mineral systems. Prospectivity models take months to build, geoscientists are under considerable cognitive load, and few techniques are used to stress test our understanding of how critical processes need to line up for world class mineral systems to form. AI has the potential to drastically improve our predictive capability, but issues like those discussed in the article below are raising legitimate concerns. BHP is committed to the advanced application of emerging technology and in this week's session Nicole Januszczak P.Geo, Ph.D. will share how they are preparing to use AI at scale and at pace to accelerate the delivery of high value options to the business.
