UC Berkeley AI Research Seminar: Supply Chain & Manufacturing

AI in supply chain is moving fast, but most of the conversation is still too abstract.

I’m helping host a research seminar on how AI can actually be used across sourcing, procurement, BOM review, supplier risk, inventory, and manufacturing operations.

Not a hype event. The goal is to bring together people in supply chain, manufacturing, procurement, consulting, and operations who want to discuss where AI is useful, where it is not, and what real workflows are worth automating.
