AI Governance and Risk Management

This application area focuses on systematically identifying, monitoring, and managing the risks created by AI systems deployed across mining operations—such as in exploration, production optimization, safety monitoring, and maintenance. It includes centralized platforms that track model performance, drift, and anomalous behavior, as well as frameworks that inventory all AI components, map their dependencies, and assess security, compliance, and ESG exposure. It matters because mining companies are rapidly scaling AI in safety‑critical, highly regulated environments with stringent ESG expectations. Without structured governance and risk management, they face hidden operational vulnerabilities, regulatory non‑compliance, reputational damage, and safety incidents triggered or amplified by poorly monitored models. By turning ad‑hoc oversight into a repeatable, auditable process, this application helps mining firms safely capture AI’s productivity and safety benefits while maintaining trust with regulators, investors, and communities.
