Hi Dors, thanks for your thoughts. The report may not have done the tech used by the mines justice, as I'm not a tech person and could not fully capture its implications. Please don't see this article as an introduction of the tech that's been used to make mines smarter, but the incentives that are pushing mines to employ more advanced technology.
A very welcome kind of reportage.
There was only one detail, a two-letter word, that made my mind get tense: AI.
AI is a term that is more or less deceptive:

What we have now is simply some currently advanced software, popularly promoted and known as "AI".

Impressive, another advantage of reducing the number of frontline workers is reducing exposure to coal dust.
100%. more technology could overall enhance the wellbeing of the miners.
Good read, don't think most people would think SOEs are leaders in applying tech, but such is the benefit of reading non-mainstream pieces
It's hard to overstate the importance of going on site and speaking with real people, there's 100% going to be something that exceeds expectations.
