“I think we are headed for human-centered AI where we have the human at the core, and you are going to augment your capabilities with technology to make your work better. That is where it is going.” - Darshan Deshmukh, President at ProcureAbility

Procurement is acutely aware that emerging technologies like AI are already having an impact on the profession and will change the role and function of procurement even more in the years to come. While some in procurement are embracing, or, at the very least, accepting the new AI-powered future of procurement, others are somewhat more resistant or even fearful of the changes ahead.

To explore how procurement can and should be thinking about and integrating AI into their delivery model of the future, Philip Ideson recently spoke with Darshan Deshmukh, President at ProcureAbility, while they were at ProcureCon Indirect West in Las Vegas, NV.

As a part of their wider discussion on how AI is impacting procurement, they talk about:

Best practices for integrating AI into procurement workflows for increased value creation
How procurement’s traditional operating models will change because of AI
Skills development and talent priorities in the age of AI
How procurement’s impact has shifted from cost savings to value delivery
