Why are so many efforts to implement artificial intelligence falling short of expectations?

One would be hard-pressed to find a global supply chain that isn’t embracing AI for multiple tasks. Yet many such projects are failing to deliver on the promise of the technology. Why the gap between intention and results? On this episode, we explore the question with Alfonso Quijano, chief technology officer at Lean Solutions. We discuss the points at which such initiatives tend to break down and wither away at the pilot stage. We ponder over what leaders are getting wrong about AI, who should be overseeing the effort, and, of course, where humans stand in an AI-dominated future. How can companies move ahead with AI? And should they be seeking perfect models — or those that are just “good enough”? Hosted by Bob Bowman, Editor-in-Chief of SupplyChainBrain
