Data integrity issues, fraud and real-world risks can compromise the supply chain, and AI is being used to address some of these issues. However, companies must still decide where and how the technology will be best applied — if they choose to use it at all.
The ballooning costs of AI, false positives and overzealous alerts are a couple of reasons why C-suite leaders might question relying on this technology to protect their frontlines.
In this episode of the InformationWeek podcast, Derek Bush, CISO at Infor; Ryan Davis, CISO at New Charter Technologies; and Art Figueroa, chief operating officer at semiconductor distributor Smith & Associates, discussed where AI fits in their supply chain monitoring, and the new types of risks it can help catch.
They answered questions such as how quickly supply chain issues can cascade into broader issues and where AI fits in addressing those issues. They also discussed how AI has evolved both defenses and potential methods of attack on supply chains, as well as the capabilities they would like AI to bring to the future of supply chain monitoring.
After the panel discussion, Davis, Bush and Figueroa collaborated in the Questionable Ideas tabletop exercise, pitting their strategies against the disruptions wrought by the resident goblins, gremlins and kobolds at the fictional company.
