The power of preparation

In preparing for the future, the mining and utilities sectors need to modernise their IT systems, improve their data infrastructure, and overhaul their governance structure frameworks before adopting AI.

The mining and utilities sectors share a number of operational, financial, and structural similarities. Both require large investments in physical infrastructure and form the foundation of industrial economies. Both sectors are also looking for ways to optimise operations, and while AI and automation may offer some efficiencies, they will first need to modernise legacy systems and integrate their IT systems so that AI models can access reliable data. They will also have to consider human-centric AI governance.
