AI has promised to transform nearly every industry, but it’s hit some obstacles along the way. Reports of canceled projects and costly implementations have some wondering whether AI’s promise lives up to its hype. In this episode, we’ll explore one area where AI implementation is accelerating: supply chain. We speak with Bob Ferrari, Managing Director, The Ferrari Consulting and Research Group, about how supply chains are using AI now and planning for the future. We’re also joined by Oliver Sawbridge, Senior Manager, Trade and Geopolitics at The Economist Group, who shares what over 800 supply chain leaders are saying about how AI is transforming their businesses. We’ll cover what makes AI in supply chain unique, how companies are investing, and what weak spots still linger.
