The Introductory Phase of Generative AI and Industrial Supply Chains

For many in logistics, however, the stakes are high when you’re relying on generative AI to make supply-chain decisions across dozens of partners along the chain. The data behind aiding manufacturers and retailers to move shipments over air, ground, and sea is fast-changing, proprietary, and very complicated. If something goes awry the last “person” you want to be relying on is a chatbot.

Could Salt Lake City Become a Future Fintech Hub?

Meanwhile, Salt Lake City is thrilled with the proposition. Mayor Erin Mendenhall had coined the city “Tech Lake City” and land-use laws are now favorable for research-and-development and lab-space centers to operate. One of the first firms to take advantage of Tech Lake City was Denali Therapeutics, a biotech firm focusing on neurodegenerative medicines. Perfect Day is another biotech company working on the development of animal-free proteins.

The Generative Potential of Artificial Intelligence

We’re at a point where artificial intelligence (AI) has successfully crept into nearly every facet of our lives. Some cringe at such a thought, while others embrace the ease at which we navigate our surroundings shepherded by AI. The last two years have been dominated by generative AI applications and their ability to create digital art, write really impressive text, and even compose music. Stable Diffusion, GitHub Copilot, and ChatGPT are paving the way and a recent report by McKinsey aims to investigate the economic potential of generative AI and workforce impacts.

Lagging e-Government Platforms Can Cripple Citizenry

COVID-19 has put a strain on everything – health-care systems, employment, and education principally. Governments at the national, state and local levels are attempting (some better than others) to organize the delivery of critical services to their citizenry. Many of these services can be completed online, mainly as they apply to financial benefits such as cash transfers. However, a lesson from Japan shows that what we might have thought were well-constructed e-government platforms, in practice, is proving to be more challenging.

Blockchain is not Revolutionizing the Supply Chain yet

Coming back to Walmart, many of its partners are growers and farmers and blockchain is still out of their purview for the moment. A short-term solution could be to focus on single products. For example, the state of Jharkhand in eastern India has been using blockchain to track the distribution of seed sales to farmers. The chain is only tracking seeds that come directly from the state and the process is exceedingly simple.
