As energy costs rise, it will partly be because AI server farms are hungry for electricity. On paper, EVs are energy savers. Recently, AI applications have been employed to find rare earths essential for EV batteries.
Russia and China are among the primary providers of rare earths, making them bargaining chips with the US in a trade war. However, some of the supply comes from Australia, and the trick is to speed up discovery and mining there.
Mastering minerals
A company using artificial intelligence-driven methods announced a significantly expanded find of a large deposit of palladium, platinum and nickel in southeastern Australia, the company’s founder told Axios Today. The company is Earth AI, which was founded in 2017.
Because of the AI’s level of sophistication, the discovery’s work cost under $300,000. Older technology is based largely on drilling and imaging, which can be both expensive and slow.
Mining may not have been a primary target for AI applications. Now, it could revolutionize the industry.
