The Whole Fake Package: Video, Voice, and Content

Social media spreads lies faster than truth. AI creates realistic fakes like images, videos, and celebrity voices. Text-to-image and text-to-speech AI raise ethical concerns. AI can be used to create dangerous content that is difficult to detect. We need to consider ethics in AI development and use.

Is Artificial Intelligence Ready for Prime Time in the Supply Chain?

The pandemic exposed weaknesses in global supply chains. AI, while promising, wasn't a magic bullet. Data fragmentation between different parts of the supply chain limited AI's effectiveness. Sharing data is crucial but faces competition hurdles. AI can still help companies navigate disruptions and make better decisions.

Causal Artificial Intelligence and Supply Chain Performance

AI is improving supply chain forecasting by going beyond correlations to identify causal relationships. This allows for better predictions and decisions, reducing stockouts and disruptions. Causal AI uses data science to understand why things happen, not just that they happen together. This is a more powerful approach for complex systems like supply chains.

The Future of Process Automation is Intelligent

Data is king in business today. Companies use automation to process data and make decisions. Intelligent automation (IA) is a new kind of automation that uses AI and machine learning to handle complex tasks. IA can improve efficiency, reduce costs, and provide better customer service. While RPA automates repetitive tasks, IA uses AI to make decisions and solve problems. In the future, IA will become even more sophisticated with the use of Autonomous Decision Science. Businesses that adopt IA will be better positioned to compete in today's marketplace.

Do Chatbots Hallucinate, Make Things Up, or Outright Lie?

This article discusses a new problem with large language models (LLMs) like Bard: AI hallucination, where the LLM generates incorrect but seemingly believable information. Experts say this is dangerous because it can spread misinformation. People can limit AI hallucination by carefully phrasing their prompts, giving the AI relevant data, and instructing it on its role. However, some argue users shouldn't have to fact-check AI outputs, and developers need to find better solutions. Large tech companies say AI needs regulation, but regulation struggles to keep pace with technology.

Artificial General Intelligence: Destroyer of Worlds?

This article explores the risks of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI), a superintelligence that could potentially destroy humanity. Experts warn of AGI causing accidental harm or intentionally wiping out humans. While some believe AGI is unlikely, others advocate for regulation to control its development. The article concludes that caution is needed, but AI has potential benefits.

Systems Of Intelligence: The Next Era Of CPG Value Chain Optimization And Decision-Making

Disruptions like political tensions and climate change threaten consumer goods supply chains. SOI, powered by AI, optimizes these for changing demands. Strategic adoption with good data is key. CPG companies embracing SOI win. The original Forbes Technology Council article can be found here: https://bit.ly/3V8zKGr

Supply Chain Visibility in Foggy Times

The article explores the importance of supply chain visibility for businesses. It argues that many companies lack a holistic view of their supply chains, which hinders their ability to make informed decisions. I propose a five-step plan to improve supply chain visibility, including using standard identifiers, leveraging existing data, and building a digital twin of the supply chain.
