Cadenas Poderosas con Inteligencia Artificial

En este episodio de Supply Chain Now en Español nos centramos en inteligencia artificial (IA) y su aplicación en cadena de suministro. Nuestro invitado Felipe Hernández, cofundador de DATUP, nos aclara los mitos en torno a la IA, destacando que no es magia y que no reemplazará a los humanos, sino que potenciará sus capacidades, ayudándolos a tomar decisiones estratégicas basadas en datos. Después de un juego de acrónimos de la industria, Felipe y Sofia se adentran a definir inteligencia artificial y hablar del modelo de negocio de DATUP y cómo utilizan IA para reducir costos en diferentes empresas alrededor del mundo. Uno de los aprendizajes más importantes es que el éxito para implementar soluciones con IA en cadena de suministro depende de la calidad y accesibilidad a datos, procesos, tecnología y personas. Finalmente, Felipe comenta sobre la adopción de IA en América Latina, destacando que algunos países están más avanzados que otros en la implementación de estas tecnologías.
