The topic "Artificial Intelligence" and its application to the mining industry and mining's problems is not a new one. Yet, there seems to be a general misunderstanding and even skepticism about the level of success we have been achieving so far. Is this because AI is just another fad? Or are we so focused on the problems we face with AI projects, we can't see the solutions clearly?

AI expert Doctor Ali Soofastaei from Vale joins the conversation with real life examples where artificial intelligence and machine learning is applied in the mining and natural resources industries. He explains the difference and value of each application.
