AI in Mining

AIMday AI in Mining aims to give academic researchers and external organizations an opportunity to meet, initiate conversations and share knowledge about defined challenges. The idea is simply that researchers can bring in-depth knowledge to the sector, new perspectives and ideas that can help to shed light on or solve a problem in a new way.

AI in Mining

The mining sector is crucial in providing the raw materials required for modern industry and technology. Sweden, with its rich mineral resources and long tradition of mining, is a leading player in sustainable and innovative mining methods. At the same time, the sector is facing major challenges – such as environmental sustainability, safety for the workforce, and efficiency in the extraction and processing of metals and minerals.

Here, AI, robotics and cybersecurity play an increasingly important role. Through AI-driven analytics, predictive maintenance, robotics for remote and autonomous operation, and cybersecurity to protect digital infrastructure, mining research can contribute to the development of intelligent and secure systems – for the benefit of both industry and society.

ARC

The AI, Robotics and Cybersecurity Center (ARC) is a university-wide center that conducts excellent research in artificial intelligence, robotics and cybersecurity. Particular focus is on the interaction between these areas and their impact on people, organisations and society at large. ARC coordinates this AIMday as a part of the EU project AI Collaboration ÖMS.

Swedish Metals & Minerals

Swedish Metals & Minerals is part of Sweden’s strategic innovation initiative, Impact Innovation, which aims to improve the sustainable extraction and use of metals. This program is a collaboration between different stakeholders, funded by the Swedish Energy Agency, Formas, Vinnova and the Swedish mining and metal industry.
