Artificial intelligence (AI) is fast becoming the defining technology of our time. The key to unlocking its secrets can be found in the Earth's crust, where a diverse array of minerals and elements lay dormant, waiting to be harnessed for their remarkable properties. Among these are platinum group metals. Platinum demand across AI spans a range of existing industrial uses and proven technologies; AI applications are an emerging new end market. It is too soon to quantify global demand growth potential, but platinum demand growth from AI is already in evidence.

On Earth Day 2026 we are highlighting the role of platinum in advancing sustainable solutions that benefit our environment.
