We are frequently asked how companies are leveraging Artificial Intelligence (AI). Let’s start with a definition of AI. Generative AI: Services such as ChatGPT. We don't currently see a lot of use with generative AI (yet). Machine-Learning AI: Technology that can use large data sets to learn. These are excellent for pattern identification, predictive activities (when will my ball-bearing fail?) and prescriptive analysis, such as “how to build a supply chain network.” Machine-learning AI can be useful in forecasting demand, making market predictions, interpreting voice and written text, and predictive/prescriptive analytics. Requires large datasets (that are trustworthy and accurate) Process Automation: This pre-existing form of AI is still relatively new for many companies. It involves identifying standardized, repeatable and binary process decisions and using those criteria to create a technology that completes a task (If this, then this, such as a robot on the production floor). Process automation requires stable and documented processes, clean enterprise data, process adoption, and ERP system use. #ArtificialIntelligence #GenerativeAI #MachineLearning #ProcessAutomation #PredictiveAnalytics #SupplyChainAI
