When Agents Make Bad Supply Chain Decisions at Machine Speed W/ Russell Halper

"Am I just making worse decisions way more quickly than I ever would before, and they're compounding and driving me down the wrong path?" – Russell Halper, Founder & Managing Director, Insight Kitchen

Supply chain should be AI's ideal proving ground. It has plenty of data, plenty of decisions, and plenty of problems no one has solved. So why did a recent AI conference with 11,000 attendees have only three talks about supply chain?

In this episode of Art of Supply, Kelly talks with Russell Halper, Founder & Managing Director of Insight Kitchen, about the gap between AI's highlight reel and what it takes to get results inside a physical network. Russell has spent his career at the intersection of data science and supply chain.

Listen to this episode to hear:

- Why a forecast has to beat a human planner, while an agent only has to come close

- What makes supply chain harder for AI than writing code or email

- How to build an AI roadmap around mile markers rather than a destination
