Of course they don’t explain how it found the copper, but I suppose the article is less about A.I. and more about the need for copper.

- HenryBemis 2y agoMy imagination tells me that they 'fed' it with all geographical/geological data available, and cross referenced them with various locations of mines (different ores)(gold, cobalt, copper, etc.) and the "machine" "figured out" that (silly example) river + mountain + over500m + earthquakes (or lack of) + various other parameters = so-and-so ore. There may be some 'coincidences'/similarities that require many parameters that the eye misses, while the "AI" can combine far more parameters.
- Am4TIfIsER0ppos 2y agoIsn't that half the point of new AI, or "AI" stuff? That it can't tell you how it knows X?
- technothrasher 2y agoWhen I was last in Zambia, I saw truck after truck full of huge copper sheets lined up at the border waiting to pay duty. I don't think it is any big news to anybody that there's copper there. It sounds like the AI just help find the extents of this particular deposit, not that it surprised anybody with secret copper.
