AI is transforming the purchasing process from end to end. Whether it’s AI-powered risk assessment and supplier monitoring, predictive sourcing, or optimising inventory management and purchase order processes, countless organisations have already embraced AI. Some purchasing managers even use AI to forecast and optimise budgets and to automate regulatory compliance. But here’s the thing - this is just the first step in a far deeper transformation of purchasing around AI technologies.

In this inspiring talk, Richard will bring you on a journey into the AI-defined future of purchasing operations.

The future of procurement is near.

Soon, AI will automate most back office roles, leading to huge purchasing workforce reduction. AI will be both predictive and proactive, as autonomous systems make independent purchasing decisions based on current and likely future market conditions. Determining resource and raw material availability will be possible years ahead of time. AI will transform quality assurance through pattern recognition algorithms and predictive defect analysis. Eventually, quantum AI will enable unprecedented real-time supply chain optimisation, testing countless scenarios against a cloud-based digital twin of the entire global market.
