Data Intensity

The surface coal mining industry is highly complex, heavily regulated, and requires significant capital investment, all of which pose challenges to AI displacement. While there is some use of data and technology, many processes remain manual. The specialized skills required limit workforce flexibility, and the industry's adaptability to AI is low.
