The reBound: Who’s afraid of AI? Not us.

Listen in as ALOM’s Brandon Marugg discusses the rise of AI and its potential in the supply chain.


On this episode of The Rebound, Brandon Marugg, the chief operating officer at ALOM, a manager of global supply chains, explains why and where his firm is investing in AI to take the supply chain to the next level, along with the reasons we need to be be cautious with this powerful new technology. ASCM CEO Abe Eshkenazi and SCMR Editor Bob Trebilcock host.

It's hard to imagine a technology that has garnered as much press as Artificial Intelligence. And, it seems as if we’re of two minds about AI: It’s either lauded as the most important technological development of the last 100 years, one that will revolutionize our lives, or a precursor to the end of humanity as we know it. It is all a little scary. But, maybe it doesn’t have to be, at least for supply chain managers.

On this episode of The reBound, ASCM CEO Abe Eshkenazi and SCMR Editor Bob Trebilcock talk with ALOM’s Brandon Marugg about the present and future potential applications for AI, along with the some of the reasons we may all need to proceed with caution.
