BHP building AI hub in Singapore

BHP (ASX: BHP) announced Tuesday it will establish its first Industry AI Hub in Singapore to accelerate digital transformation and AI adoption in the mining and resources sector. The Hub, the world’s biggest miner said, will focus on solving enterprise-wide challenges using AI technologies to improve safety and lift productivity.  Once established this month, the hub of BHP AI specialists will look at further integration of data-driven decisions, intelligence and automation into the company’s core operations. With the support of Enterprise Singapore, and in partnership with AI Singapore (AISG), BHP said it selected Singapore to further develop its AI capabilities for its innovation ecosystem, strong digital infrastructure and alignment with BHP’s ambitions to scale technologies that deliver operational value. The Hub will support the growth of BHP’s digital capabilities in Singapore and the region, with plans for a number of AI specialists to lead collaboration between BHP teams and local AI partners to solve business problems. BHP noted it is using AI to make a real-world impact to its operational systems. Three 3 billion litres of water and 118 GWh of energy have been saved since FY22 through AI-powered plant control at its Escondida copper mine in Chile, it said.  The Hub is intended to create opportunities for collaboration and build capability as BHP works to unlock the potential of AI across its operations.  “As BHP accelerates our digital transformation and grows our internal AI capabilities, we see tremendous opportunity to work with AI Singapore and other global leaders to help deliver solutions to complex, enterprise-wide challenges,” BHP’s chief technical officer, Johan van Jaarsveld said in the statement.   Weiter zum vollständigen Artikel bei Mining.com Weiter zum vollständigen Artikel bei Mining.com
