How these projects in North America and Latin America are innovating beyond their hemisphere

# AI Innovation Spotlight: Smarter Solutions for Real Problems A Chilean mining company has figured out how to extract copper using way less water and energy than traditional methods—a big deal since copper is essential for everything from phones to power grids. Meanwhile, projects across North America are tackling everything from making homes climate-resilient to giving kids safe power tools and improving rural healthcare access. These innovations show how AI and smart engineering are being used to solve practical problems that affect people's daily lives, from the materials we rely on to the communities we live in.
