The Future of Supply Chain Resilience: How AI is Changing the Game

Global supply chain resilience has never been more critical. From geopolitical tensions to natural disasters, disruptions can cost companies millions. According to a McKinsey study, supply chain disturbances can erase as much as 45% of a year’s profits for businesses over a period of ten years. So, can companies turn to AI-driven early warning systems to anticipate risks before they escalate?

How can businesses leverage AI to enhance supply chain resilience? What tools exist to provide real-time insights into potential disruptions?

Welcome to Hammer Down. In this episode, host Mike Bush sits down with Julius Rusnak, the COO at Semantic Visions, to explore how AI and natural language processing are redefining supply chain risk management. The conversation covers how Semantic Visions crawls global data sources to detect potential disruptions, as well as the role of AI in supply chain monitoring and the future of predictive analytics in logistics.

The two discuss…

  • AI-Powered Early Warnings: Semantic Visions uses advanced data crawling techniques to detect and analyze potential threats, from geopolitical instability to environmental disasters, offering businesses a proactive approach to risk mitigation.
  • Understanding Supply Chain Complexity: AI can help businesses map out multi-tier supply chains, ensuring that even small, lesser-known suppliers are accounted for in risk assessments.
  • From Predictive to Prescriptive Analytics: AI is evolving beyond simple predictions to offering prescriptive solutions, helping companies not only foresee disruptions but also develop strategies to counteract them.

Julius Rusnak, the COO at Semantic Visions, has extensive experience in AI-driven intelligence, natural language processing, and supply chain risk management. With a background in consulting, defense, and data analytics, he has worked on NATO expansion, disinformation detection, and large-scale enterprise data solutions.
