Aluminum Corp of China (Chalco) is at the forefront of a digital revolution in the nonferrous metals industry. The company has recently launched a collaborative initiative to integrate advanced artificial intelligence (AI) into various operational and production processes. This move is part of Chalco’s efforts to modernize and enhance the efficiency of the industry.
The centerpiece of this initiative is Chalco’s new Kun’an AI model, which was unveiled at a launch event co-hosted with the China Nonferrous Metals Industry Association. This model marks a significant milestone as it is the first general-purpose large language model tailored specifically for the nonferrous metals sector.
Kun’an is built on an expansive dataset that consists of tens of billions of data points. Its advanced capabilities include natural language processing, image analysis, and predictive modeling, all aimed at streamlining processes from resource exploration and mining to recycling. Additionally, it focuses on improving security concerning data protection and network resilience.
Duan Xiangdong, chairman of Chalco, spoke on the potential impact of AI in the industry, stating, ‘The company is expected to further strengthen the technological foundation of large models, accelerate breakthroughs in cognitive intelligence, and drive the deep synergy of capital, talent, and technology.’
Support from key government agencies, including the National Development and Reform Commission and the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, emphasizes the importance of this digital transformation initiative.
As Duan noted, the integration of AI into the nonferrous metals industry is set to optimize production processes and improve resource utilization efficiency. The sector is adapting to global dynamics with a growing focus on overseas mineral sourcing and high-end materials.
In conclusion, as Chalco leads the charge in AI-driven transformation, the future of traditional industries appears to be enriched with opportunities for innovation and sustainable growth.
