Google Cloud and United States Steel Corporation have announced a new collaboration to build applications using Google Cloud’s generative artificial intelligence (“gen AI”) technology to help drive efficiencies and improve employee experiences in the largest Generative Artificial Intelligenceiron ore mine in North America. 

The first gen AI-driven application that U.S. Steel will launch is called MineMind, which aims to simplify equipment maintenance by providing optimal solutions for mechanical problems, saving time and money, and ultimately improving productivity. Underpinned by Google Cloud’s AI technology, like Document AI and Vertex AI, MineMind is expected to not only improve the maintenance team’s experience by more easily bringing the information they need to their fingertips, but also save costs from more efficient use of technicians' time and better maintained trucks.

When fully operational, MineMind will help a U. S. Steel technician to reduce the amount of time to complete a work order by an estimated 20 percent. For example, the application will assist maintenance crews by guiding them through truck repairs, ordering parts and distilling complex information. The application also provides comprehensive references, providing detailed, verified source information to ensure accuracy.

U.S. Steel will work with Google Cloud to continue building new gen AI applications, including applications providing real-time data and insights. The two companies will seek to continue to expand the relationship to solve for high-impact areas across the U.S. Steel value chain.
