This is a collection of blogs on disruptive innovation and the future of supply chain.  “Artificial intelligence will reach human levels by around 2029.  Follow that out further to, say, 2045, you will have multiplied the intelligence, the human biological machine intelligence of our civilization a billion-fold.” ~Ray Kurzweil

Quotes about the Future, and the Future is Here.

  • “Don’t let the digital supply chain scare you. Big Data, IoT, Cloud, AI, Drones and Deep Learning are just ways to improve the supply chain.” ~SupplyChainToday.com.
  • “Artificial intelligence, deep learning, machine learning – whatever you’re doing if you don’t understand it – learn it.  Because otherwise you’re going to be a dinosaur within 3 years.” ~Mark Cuban
  • “All businesses need to be young forever. If your customer base ages with you, you’re Woolworth’s.” ~ Jeff Bezos, founder of Amazon.

It would understand exactly what you wanted, and it would give you the right thing. We’re nowhere near doing that now. However, we can get incrementally closer to that, and that is basically what we work on.” ~ Larry Page
