In this episode, we'll hear from Craig Moss, Executive Vice President, Measurement at Ethisphere and Patrick Neyts, CEO and Strategic Advisor of VECTRA International on how the data collected in assessing the residual risk of a small number of suppliers can be used by AI and Generative AI to deliver data-driven solutions for supply chain risk.

Join us for Part 2 in the series, where Craig will be joined by Dr. David Ferrucci, an award-winning Artificial Intelligence researcher who founded and led the IBM Watson project. They will discuss specific applications of AI and Gen AI to supply chain due diligence and risk management.
