AI in Philippine mining.
The governance gaps
operators need to close.

Philippine mining is adopting AI for safety monitoring, predictive maintenance, and environmental compliance. The technology is moving faster than governance frameworks. Monte Fisher applies forensic rigor to help operators get AI right before regulators force the issue.

Where mining AI creates risk

Adoption without governance
is a liability, not an advantage.

Mining operations deploying AI face a governance gap that most technology vendors don't address. Safety-critical AI systems — blast monitoring, slope stability, equipment failure prediction — require audit trails, human oversight protocols, and explainability standards that go beyond what most implementations include.

Safety Monitoring AI

Governance frameworks for AI in safety-critical applications — human override requirements, audit trails, incident protocols.

🔮

Predictive Maintenance

Data governance for equipment telemetry — vendor access controls, retention policies, IP protection.

🌿

Environmental Compliance

AI-assisted environmental monitoring with audit trails that satisfy DENR requirements and protect operators.
