AI/Machine Learning; Opportunities and Challenges for Minerals Exploration

The exponential growth in computing power now means that Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine learning tools are now within the reach of mineral explorers. There are now a number of groups either offering or using these technologies in minerals exploration, though the use of these tools is far from widespread. In addition to the growth in computing power there has been a huge growth in data being made available to geoscientists. The surge in data has not been accompanied by a similar growth in the number of geoscientists in the industry. AI and machine learning are a potential solution to extract the maximum value in a timely manner from this oncoming “wave of data.”
The aim of this workshop will be to introduce participants, a wide variety of participants in the AI/machine learning field, not only minerals exploration
