Welcome back, Insiders!
The world of AI spins madly on – more lawsuits, more AI regulations, more “definitely messed up” AI images – and a slew of new(ish) players – Gemma, Groq (not to be confused with Grok), Emo, Optimus, Claude 3 (oh my!).
The innovations are fun to read about but it’s even more fun to connect these crazy capabilities with real-world industries doing important work. Beyond the headlines, AI provides enterprises with practical applications.
Vision AI, in particular, automates our most powerful sense. The real-time visual data it delivers is especially powerful for industries with historically limited visibility, like mining.
We’re at the PDAC (Prospectors and Developers Association of Canada) convention this week, immersed in the mining industry and feeling totally energized. 🙌
By extending the reach and capabilities of human vision, computer vision serves as a powerful tool for the mining industry, aligning with its goals of solving problems and exploring possibilities, ultimately contributing to a more sustainable and efficient future. 💫
