Dr. Maria Jesus Saenz, director of the Supply Chain Transformation Lab at the MIT Center for Transportation & Logistics, was recently featured in the Financial Times article, How AI Is Reshaping Supply Chains. The feature highlights her expertise on the evolving role of artificial intelligence in supply chain transformation.
“When we talk about deep transformation, this is execution of the supply chain in a completely different way. It is more automated, more autonomous, more self-learning, self-correcting, more resilient.”
In the article, Dr. Saenz discusses how AI is enabling the shift toward more automated, autonomous, and self-learning supply chains. She explains that while AI technologies offer significant opportunities, lasting transformation requires organizations to redesign their processes, invest in digital capabilities, and establish a clear strategic vision before deploying new technologies. Her insights reflect MIT CTL's ongoing leadership in advancing research at the intersection of AI, digital transformation, and supply chain innovation.
