The premise
AI can synthesize public signals to estimate supply-chain risk, but mitigation actions require supplier conversations and contract changes.
What AI does well here
- Aggregate public news, port congestion, and supplier disclosures into a risk score.
- Map declared tier-1 suppliers to inferred tier-2 dependencies.
What AI cannot do
- Verify the actual factory of origin without on-the-ground audit.
- Negotiate dual-sourcing or buffer-stock terms with the supplier.
