With the support of Enterprise Singapore, and in partnership with AI Singapore, BHP said it will open its first Industry AI Hub later this month in Singapore to accelerate digital transformation and AI adoption in the mining and resources sector.
The hub will support the growth of BHP’s digital capabilities in Singapore and the region, with plans for a number of AI specialists to lead collaboration between BHP teams and local AI partners to solve business problems.
“For BHP, this is an opportunity to build capability with industry and government working in sync,” said BHP Chief Commercial Officer Rag Udd. “Singapore is a clear leader in AI industry partnerships. It has the talent and ecosystems to support industry-wide solutions in AI adoption with supportive and active government policy and investment in AI capability.
“Through this partnership in Singapore, we’re building an approach with real potential to transform how we work.”
The hub is intended to create opportunities for collaboration and build capability as BHP works to unlock the potential of AI across its operations. The miner said additional projects and partnerships are expected as the initiative evolves.
