AI ALERT for PROCUREMENT & SUPPLY CHAINS: Artificial Intelligence is increasingly influencing procurement analytics, supplier risk monitoring and supply chain decision environments. Yet 2 critical questions remain:
1) How should procurement leaders evaluate AI-generated signals when selecting suppliers or awarding contracts?
2) How can procurement teams use AI to strengthen sourcing decisions while maintaining governance discipline, financial prudence and defensible procurement practices?
On 29 April 2026, Knowledge of the ART Academy is launching: Procurement AI Masterclass 2026 Orchestrating Supply Chains in the Age of Agentic AI.
