In this exciting episode of the Digital Supply Chain podcast, I had the pleasure of talking with Mike Sigler, Senior Director at Nexer. We dove deep into the fascinating world of AI, particularly ChatGPT, and explored its immense potential in the realms of supply chain and manufacturing.

Mike shared his insights on how ChatGPT can help businesses save time, make better decisions, and optimize processes. We discussed numerous use cases for generative AI in the supply chain, from demand forecasting and inventory management to production scheduling and workforce planning.

But it's not all smooth sailing. We also touched on the potential risks and challenges of incorporating AI into the supply chain, such as overreliance on technology, data quality issues, and the so-called "black box problem." Importantly, we emphasized the need for human touch and gatekeeping, especially in the early stages of AI adoption.

We also tackled the critical aspect of change management and user adoption. As Mike pointed out, AI isn't here to replace jobs, but rather to change and enhance them, empowering people to be more efficient and informed in their work.

And as a little bonus, I shared my personal experience using ChatGPT for cooking inspiration and recipe suggestions. Who knew AI could be so tasty?
