An opinion piece published by Diario Libre in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, details an artificial intelligence experiment regarding mining decisions. Rather than asking whether AI was generally for or against mining, the author tested the technology with a complex dilemma involving the discovery of a copper and gold deposit in an underdeveloped province where all potential responses are difficult.

The narrative uses the hypothetical scenario to explore the difficult decision-making processes surrounding newly discovered mineral wealth in under-resourced areas.
