Join the conversation at F4SS Fall Connect with Professor of Supply Chain Management, Jeff Smith at Virginia Commonwealth University, on Tuesday, November 5th, from 10:45 AM - 11:45 AM CST as he explores the role of artificial intelligence in the supply chain. In this session titled, "AI and Circular Supply Chain Management: Revolutionizing Sustainability or Complicating the Journey," Smith will examine how AI can both advance and complicate circular supply chain goals, raising questions about its impact on sustainability and efficiency. Circular supply chain management (CSCM) seeks to enhance resource efficiency through materials recycling, reuse, and regeneration. Integrating artificial intelligence (AI) into CSCM offers benefits like logistics optimization, demand prediction, and resource allocation improvement. However, this integration may pose challenges such as over-reliance on technology, data privacy issues, and the need for significant investments.
