High-speed internet connections, artificial intelligence (AI), machine-learning — technology is driving change in all areas of life.

BHP is using everything from autonomous drills at iron ore mines to “smart caps” to analyze brain waves and monitor worker fatigue.
Diane Jurgens is BHP’s chief technology officer. “We’re fortunate (that), as one of the largest resources company in the world, we have deep access to technology in the resource industry,” she told CNBC’s Didi Akinyelure.
