AI is automating knowledge work, and the implications for the half of the U.S. workforce who are employed in such jobs are profound. It’s true that these white-collar jobs have been evolving for decades as technology has improved, but the elimination of middle-skilled jobs seems set to accelerate as AI is institutionalized in the workplace.

Artificial-intelligence software is eating the software industry, as companies turn to generative AI tools to save money on programmers. It’s a sign of what’s to come for many white-collar workers.

In this episode, Professor Sheffi shares highlights and research from his latest book: The Magic Conveyor Belt, Supply Chains, A.I. and the Future of Work. Our podcast discussion focuses on the key challenges and opportunities provided to industry supply chain teams in the current fourth industrialization context of the book, along with the future of supply chains and the people who run them. Further explored are future notions of descriptive and normative applications software and how they impact current and future supply chain focused decision-making.

In advance of Professor Yossi Sheffi's keynote address for the Vision Spectra Conference, editor-in-chief Michael Wheeler sat down with Sheffi for an exclusive interview.

Professor Yossi Sheffi appears on the Supply Chain Brain podcast. Is artificial intelligence the technology that will finally make humans obsolete?

Every technological innovation throughout history has been accompanied by doomsayers who predict that it will eliminate the need for human labor. Artificial intelligence (and its most recent manifestation, ChatGPT) is no exception. Will this powerful tool finally fulfill a vision of machines taking over our work — specifically, in the area of supply chain management? 

Dr. Yossi Sheffi and Joe Lynch discuss AI and the future of supply chain, which is the central theme of Yossi’s latest book, The Magic Conveyor Belt: Supply Chains, A.I., and the Future of Work.

New book, written by Professor Yossi Sheffi describes the crucial role of supply chains, how they’re being digitally disrupted, and what’s next. 

MIT professor Yossi Sheffi discusses his latest book, "The Magic Conveyor Belt: Supply Chains, A.I. and the Future of Work," and in the Market Call, Steven Grey of Grey Value Management talks about how even a diehard stock jockey like himself should be considering bank deposits as a possible alternative during the rough times he sees dead ahead.

Dr. Sheffi envisions a future where supply chains are seamlessly integrated, leveraging technology, data analytics, and innovative strategies to drive operational excellence.
