The role of gold in AI

The role of gold in AI:

AI is fast becoming a cornerstone of modern technology. Driving advancements across various industries including healthcare, education and finance, looking to AI in order to improve efficiency and innovation. The considerable electronics infrastructure required to power this rapidly growing sector has a direct impact on industrial gold demand.

As an essential component in the manufacturing of AI-enabled devices, such as smartphones and autonomous vehicles, alongside a corresponding growth in data centres, gold's superior conductivity ensures that data can be processed and transmitted at high speed with minimal energy loss. AI systems rely heavily on advanced hardware, including processors, memory chips and sensors, all of which utilise gold. Unlike silver and copper, gold's resistance to corrosion ensures component longevity and durability which is critical for continuous and intensive AI applications.

As AI technology advances, the demand for more sophisticated and powerful hardware can only increase. This, in turn, is likely to drive demand for gold, as manufacturers seek to enhance the performance and reliability of their AI-enabled devices, and this can only further amplify demand.
