Artificial Intelligence deploys the ability of a machine to perform cognitive functions associated with human minds such as perceiving, learning, interacting with the environment, problem-solving, among others. But some supply chain decisions require more than the formal rationality that underpins AI algorithms, they will need to use the substantive rationality of humans. In our research at the MIT Digital SC Transformation Lab, we research on humans and AI’s complementarities and identify different configurations of human-AI collective intelligence for applying AI more successfully. We will discuss some applications in supply chains, as well as recent results obtained from our research using field experiments on demand forecasting in the retail industry.
This article in Supply Chain Management Review motivates our research.
