Nonferrous metal smelting and refining is a highly specialized industry with stringent regulatory compliance requirements and significant capital investments. While there is some use of data and opportunities for optimization, the highly skilled workforce and complex processes make displacement by AI difficult. The industry's adaptability to AI is further hindered by its rigid and regulated nature.
