How can AI and Mining Tech help shape the future of critical minerals and #cobalt? Cobalt Institute's Dinah McLeod and Marina Demidova were honoured to be part of this discussion at the Stanford Mineral-X forum last week. This event, led by amazing Jef Caers and David Zhen Yin at the Stanford University, isn't just a conference - it's an inspiring preview of how technology will shape the future of critical minerals. Cobalt Institute joined discussions alongside our members Glencore Tshene Omambo Wedi Electra Battery Materials Corporation Trent Mell Vale Base Metals and Gecamines S.A., other innovators like KoBold Metals Jennifer Fendrick and Google Yuna Tae, as well as the brilliant Mineral X programme students on how AI and data science can transform the minerals value chains - from improving exploration to making refining and recycling more efficient. As we continue advocating for a transparent, reliable, and safe cobalt industry, engaging with those building the next generation of mining tools is essential. Watch this space! 🚀
