Will AI take my job?

How do we embrace AI while safeguarding the human-centric skills vital for the talent pipeline?

scheduleWATCH ON-DEMAND

Is AI the productivity boon for procurement that we think it is? Will it displace entry-level roles and create a talent chasm for the future? Or will new roles spring into existence as strategic procurement teams embrace a hybrid reality of skilled professionals managing well-orchestrated AI-powered agents?

In this webinar, we addressed these fundamental questions that the procurement and supply chain profession must face up to with our panel of practitioners and experts. While the current excitement around the potential of AI is justified, so too is the fear around its disruption.

And live attendees voiced their views as we got under the skin of this critical debate on AI's impact on the future of the profession.
