Zero100

This week on the #TheZero100Podcast, we ask with love and bewilderment: why do we all suck at AI?    We’re joking (mostly). But everywhere you look, leaders are struggling to move AI past the pilot phase, and even the most advanced companies are suffering embarrassing public blunders.   🎙️ In the latest episode of the podcast, Matt Davis, Lauren Acoba, and Steve Hochman break down the challenges stalling supply chain’s AI revolution, and share tips for success from Amazon, Procter & Gamble, and other organizations getting AI right.    Listen to the conversation on Apple Podcasts or Spotify, and let us know your thoughts in the comments 👇   Apple: https://lnkd.in/eu_RBzsv Spotify: https://lnkd.in/eR4S4phr   #SupplyChain #ArtificialIntelligence
