AI is revolutionizing Chinese coal production, and blowing up labor models everywhere else https://tankie.tube/videos/watch/33bd90f1-0d85-4835-a46d-0bb549f34e29 Coal prices are in steep decline across the world, and that should translate to collapsing profitability for coal miners. But China's blue-collar industries are rapidly adopting Artificial Intelligence and 5G smart systems across its operations, and are enjoying booming profits. ZTE and Huawei build 5G systems in Chinese mines, which allow for autonomous driving, robots, and drones--even underground. This poses a serious challenge for competitors in extractive industries outside China: they need to invest heavily in autonomous operations themselves, but Chinese firms like ZTE and Huawei own the supply chains for 5G telecom systems.
